Should They Put A Weight Limit On HEavy Weights Again?

[LEFTYGUNZZ]

really?
didnt 6.1 225brewster beat wlad and his the chunky one.
and didnt chagev 6.1 220 beat valuev?
even ruiz at 6.8 and 230almost beat valuev.

point is the biggest guys will always draw the crowd and less talented superheavy divison would be even more boring

My point exactly leave all the super HW in their own boring class and bring back the 6'0 210-220 lbs fighters. I had to bring this one back. Who still doesnt think they should bring back SHW?

I don't think they should. Their ain't enough talent for it ya kno? The division is gettin better after borin ass 07 and 08, now we got Haye fightin someone and Arreola is in an entertainin fight. V. Klitschko is back and Chagaev is about to come back from one of his injuries. Odlanier is comin up and this is a good who's weight should be regulated ya kno? Dude could hav such a better work rate and speed but he chooses to come in 20 lbs more then he should be, Denis Boystov is gettin there also and Dimitrenko is gonna have a big year next year along with Povetkin and Wlad fightin. 2009 I got my hopes up for this division.

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.

What about Nicolay Valuev, who can beat and compete with quality, smaller heavyweights? Or the Klitschkos, who weigh in over 240 regularly? Or Lennox Lewis or Rid**** Bowe, they wouldn't have been heavyweights and would be ineligible for the heavyweight title, the most prestigious prize in sport.

The Klits and Lewis are around 245 lbs or so. I said limit the weight class to 235. I see these guys trying to come in and making 235lbs or so if they had to in order to get their pay check,. The 7 foot giant well i am sorry I would never buy a PPV to see him fight never!!!

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!!!!

so basically your chief problem seems to be that non american heavyweights with names you can't spell are now dominating. wow good job racist.

Ridiculous, you cant blame it all on the big guys Ruiz was boring as **** and he wasnt a Super HW. If these smaller HWs fought like Tyson,Ali,Frazier and so on they'd be knockin the hell out of some of these monsters. Sultan is also boring as hell btw.

Hold up. You want more divisions?

We currently have 17 divisions, with 4 belts per division, for a total of 68 different belts. I know, lets add more.

It wouldn't improve the heavyweight division one bit in my opinion.

[Jupiter Maximus]

What moron wrote this post.

Only the amature have had Super HW

They did split the HW division back in the early 80's the lower half is now called the Cruiser weights and it is arguablly the ****tiest division ever made. PPL either start out in it to go up to HW or go down to LHW or washed up HWs go there to die.

Making a super HW division would only mean that ever one would consider the SHWs the real champs and the new lighter HWs would be like the CWs.

Good thinking sparky

[Ramamaiden]

the problem here is that the smaller heavyweights have no skill at all.
i assure that if tyson was fighting now, all those giants would fall down...and the bigger the harder the fall would be :P
