Now before you guys bite my head off, just hear me out? Im all for consolidating some of the lower divisions (106-190), by eliminating the super and junior levels. But I truly think we need a supercrusierweight division. I mean why should a 6'2" 210 guy who grows out of cruiserweight have to fight someone 6'7" 260. I think we should make a supercruiserweight divison from (201-225) Whos with me?
or a super heavy weight division! because valuevs size is just not fair
Yeah but how many guys his own size is he going to find to fight?
No more divisions are needed.
The cruiserweight devision needs to be eliminated, period. All throughout most of boxing history, all of the great Heavyweights would be cruiser weights by todays standards. Its no coincidence that the rise of the cruiser weight division coincided with the downfall of the Heavyweight division.
Emanual Steward once said that as a fighter gets taller he gets less coordinated. The heavyweight division has been relegated to the realm of uncoordinated circus freaks. Any fighter below 6'5 and 240lb is considered "small".
Never mind that guys like "BIG" George Foreman came into the ring at 208lb during their prime.
The cruiser weight division is a farce, a place for slick heavyweights to hide from the Giants. The giants that they would so easily fell should they muster up the courage to step into the ring with one of them. Evander Holyfield is evidence enough of why the cruiser weight division is not needed. The cruiser weights are plenty big enough to step in there with the big boy.
Not to mention, the cruiser weight division is perhaps the least publicized division in boxing despite its deep pool of talent. A pool of talent that would have kept the Heavyweight division alive and kicking had the cruiser weight division not existed.
Look at all of the best fights in Heavy weight history. Can you name me one that was Giant Heavy against Giant Heavy? Me neither. Ali-Frazier, Holyfield-Bowe, what do they have in common? A fighter that falls within the cruiser weight bounds, fighting a real big heavyweight.
Anyone that even proposes further diluting the Heavyweight talent pool by either raising the cruiser weight limit or creating a new weight class deserves death.
But youre theory is bullshit. If it would be true, the cruiserweights would be the most interesting division cause thats the size of manny heavyweights of the past. But thats not the case. Its not the size and the weight what makes a good heavyweight. The cruiserweights is some of the most overlooked divisions.

But Foreman was about 218-220 in his prime, not 208. Maybe he was 208 when he started his career, but not in his prime.

No, size alone means nothing. Watch Valuev vs. Chagaev or Ruiz, then you will see what i mean.

That would be a bad idea, cause even know we have not manny good heavyweights, and if they would split it in two, it would be even worse. No, not good idea.
Some of the best Heavyweights withot history were in the 200-225 range. Memorable fights would have never happened if the supercruiser was in effect. We wouldn't have seen Tyson knock down 280 pound tree's. Plus in a division that lacks so bad now, why divvy it up and have more titles, etc.... The heavyweight div has enough prob. Just like cruiserweight now, alot fo people would disown just the name supercrusier. People like "Heavyweight Champion of The World" ya know.
No, it would only serve to water down both divisions.
If anything, I would eliminate the cruiserweight division and increase the weight limit of the light heavyweight and lower the heavyweight.
na no more divisions, if anything they need to cut down on some of these shits
just make it Heavyweight,Welterweight,Lightweight,Featherweight no in between fuck that
you forgot flyweight and middleweioght lmfao your choices exclude much of the population by removing middleweight.

chill man, but you definitely just convinved me I see where your coming from

Then guys like Tyson or Holyfield wouldn't even be heavyweights. What's the fun in that?
they would be able to fight up, but guys just wouldn't be trapped in a division they couldn't handle
im not saying eliminate the cruiserweights just add a super division from 201-225 thats more fair
Then guys like Tyson or Holyfield wouldn't even be heavyweights. What's the fun in that?
