You cannot battle down in weightclass unless challenge sent to you from someone in lower class from you. Compile rankings once a year to see a tourney for each class, the winner or light and middle get an award and a step up in class, heavyweight tourney winner is that year's GC. Assign a mod to run each weight class.

This is actually not a bad idea. Similar to the different colored flames, I can see how it could provide an incentive for people to battle and move up weight classes. But how would someone who starts off in light weight class finally get promoted to middle weight? Number of points/battles completed?
EDIT: Sorry, I missed the part where you said "3 consecutive defenses of title result in step up in weight class." I think an automatic promotion to higher weight class based on a number of battles completed and points earned ratio might work better for using this tier system to stimulate activity.
