    Should there be a Super Heavyweight Division?

    This is considering that the heavyweight division would have a 235 or 240 pound limit.

    Personally, I'm torn both ways for this question. Cuz although its unfair to watch a 280 lbs guy against a 220 pound guy, cuz either the big guy is too big for the small guy, or the small guy is too fast for the big guy and its almost always a weird fight. But at the same time, its interesting to see how a smaller guy would do against a bigger guy. Like Valuev against almost every one of his oponents. So I don't know. What do you think?

    Hell no.

    That would take everything away from what Louis, Ali, Frazier, Dempsey etc. did.

    Hell ****ing no. It will never happen thankfully.

            The Heavyweight division is suffering enough as it is, they couldn't afford to do this. Who would Valeuv have to fight? Hardly any one. Plus it ruins the legacy of all the great Heavyweights in the past to a certain extent.

              Hell yeah!!!! The athletes are getting bigger and bigger and it's not fair for a 6'2 boxer who can't get below 200. He's gonna have to face some mosters of 280 lbs...

                It's not as much of a problem anymore with Cruiserweight being 200, and if it is they will move it up 5 more pounds I'm sure.

                  how does it ruin the legacy of the great heavyweights? all the great heavyweights have weighed in under 240 pounds anyway. Foreman 220(prime), frazier 215, ali 225, holmes 215(prime), tyson 220.... They would still be ranked as heavyweights. and, anyone who fought as a heavyweight in years past, could still be ranked as that in all-time lists.
