    they are too slow and mostly a few punches that they can throw

    if 2 out of 10 that landed will surely KO

      Just have more weight divisions. It's the only area of boxing where there can be accepted huge differences in weight.

      Mass gain of weight post weigh in and fight 24 hours later needs to be addressed to, but it's not as bad as this. Boxing rules are being undermined by it's own rules of weight divisions.

        NEWS FLASH GENIOUS IT IS ALREADY THE MOST BORING IN BOXING!!!!

        If they put a weight limit in on it you would get some more guys in the 200 - 220 range to fight at Heavy Wieght. they wouldn't have to be 6' 6 to fight or 240 pounds and over to be able to hang in there. When Tyson was fighting or even befor ethat when Ali was fighting Foreman was a big guy for Heavy;s George when he fought Ali in Africa was 6'3 and 220 lbs that wouldnt be considered big now. Compared to Vlad at 6' 6 245?? Wake up buddy

          I can somewhat agree that a super heavyweight division should be created. What I really want done is for there to be a limit to how much weight a fighter can put on after the weigh-in. That should be priority that would make more fighter fight in they're more natural weight classes.

              Agreed. There are so few good HW's as there is. Capping the weight would just thin the crop even more.

                On the other hand it might increase and incourag ethe guy who is 200 pounds or 210 pounds to use his natural weight rather then drop to 175 to fight at light heavy weght? You would still have these same bozos fighting we would just be calling them Super Heavy Weights rather then heavy weight Vlad the Super Heavy Weight Champion of the world!!!

                    I know this might sound lame but its just not fair. Can we really see a fighter like Eddie Chambers beating someone like Valuev or Klitschko? There are simply too big and should be fighting fighters that are actually their size.

                      This man gets the whole post...Exactly sir we need these guys to fight guys their owns size ...It would open opportunities for more guy in the 5' 11 to 6'3 range to have their shot at the titles and maybe more of these guys would aspire to be boxers???
