**MonsieurGeorges** · 08-10-2009, 05:42 PM

**FLYBOY** · 08-10-2009, 05:43 PM

i really hope this never happens.

Yeah, let's take a division with no talent and dilute it even more.

The problem with boxing today is there too many weight divisions, there is absolutely no need for a super heavyweight division. Ali dominated the heavyweight division weighting around 210-218lbs. It's the lack of talent and lack of good quality fighters that can stand up the Klitschko's. If Samuel Peter actually had really good boxing skills he could of beaten Wlad and Vitali.

Eddie Chambers is the second best skilled heavyweight imo and he's a 6'1 small heavyweight. Mike Tyson at least knew how to get within range and cut the ring no matter how big and skilled the opponent he fought, most heavyweights today can't even do that.

This is how I would redo the weight divisions

HW 204-and above
CW 180-203
LHW 170-179
MW 160-169
JMW 151-159
WW 142-150
LW 134-141
FW 127-133
BW 120-126
FW 113-119
SW 112-and below

The problem with the heavy weight division is that for most guys, its just an excuse not to make cruiser.

Povetkin, Brewster, Peter, Arreola would be in shape if they were weighing around 220-225lbs so they are natural heavyweights. David Haye is also now a natural heavyweight. The only heavyweight that's not a natural is Eddie Chambers and I rank him as the 3rd best heavyweight behind the Klitschko brothers.

It's not a lack of height or power, it's a lack of really good boxers that can compete against the Klitschko brothers.
