As of now a 201lb fighters could have to fight a 242lb Klitschko. That is 40lbs difference. Do you think it would make sense to make a division of 201-220lbs, then 221-250lbs?
I mean, there aren't many fighters at all above 250lbs, so it wouldn't make sense to make a division that is 250-280lbs IMO. The Klitschkos very rarely coming in at 250lbs+. Wladimir I don't think ever has, his heaviest I think was 249lbs, and he was a bit flappy at that weight. That is the thing. Thinking this way 221lbs would become to lower limit, since 221-250lbs would be the heaviest division.
I think the division should stay the same, 201+ lbs. I made the 201lb fighter fighting a much heavier fighter remark for the theory. A fighter normally would put on 10+lbs of muscle if he weights that light, or fights at cruiserweight. Plus I think that if in the lower weights ranking, welterweight for example, if an opponent can weigh 15lbs heavier on the night and still lose to the other fighter, 15lbs isn't then a huge difference at heavyweight. 20-25lbs even is not a massive difference due to the heavier weight.
