    Should They Put A Weight Limit On HEavy Weights Again?

    I think the Heavy Weight division is ruined simply because the guys are just too big. Long gone are the days of the Heavy Wieghts being 5' 11 to 6'2 210 to 225 lbs. Now we have these huge men who weigh anywhere from 230 to 300 pounds. You got guys from 6' 4 to 7' 1 with last names I can't pronounce much less spell. they fumble around the ring and some one has to tap one of them on the shoulder to remind them they are in a fight not a wrestling contest. Vlad the so called best of the worst is the most boring champ since I can ever remember. I saw a fight where he didn't throw one single punch other then a jab for the 1st five rounds. My take in this is put a cap on the weight for Heavy weights again. Creat a super EHavy weight divison like the old days and bring the Old School heavy Weights back. the guys like Tyson, Fraizer, Holyfield, Holmes, guys that were big but not basket ball players. If I want to see to guys over 6' 5 fist fight I will tune inot a NBA game that Ron Artest is playing in. Come on man!!!!

    I second that. Why isn't there a weight limit for the heavyweights?

      There should be a weight limit of 240, so we don't have fatties like Chris Koval boxing in the division.

      They could make a super heavyweight division (that only one sanctioning body covers) for Valuev, Fields etc.

        There used to be but it seemed like once Lewis was Champ the guys just started getting bigger and bigger. the weight limit went away and yoyu never heard of Super heavy Weight again. I say bring it back please!!!! If they cant make wieght then they can't make money

          I have an even BETTER idea. They should have a Body Fat % limit and they should also pass a couple of tests like a 6mile run (so that would mean Briggs would be forced to retire)

                yes yes and yes
                These heavyweights are slow sluggish overweight bores.
                The reason heavyweights ko ratio is super low is cause they can barely throw 10 punches a round without gassing so they do not throw enough to land a ko.

                    lol what an idiotic idea. What do old school fighters have to do with the size of heavyweights? The reason there are no "old school" fighters is cause life is to easy here. People have become soft. If you split up the division your gonna have 2 divisions with half the talent this one has. Thats a great way to remedy the situation.
