Super heavyweight division

[Spacey1991]

Well the problem is there are too many at the lower end.

If it went:

105
112
118
126
135
147
160
175
190
215
215+

I'd very much like to see these weights... or something close to

Well if you wanted a Super Heavyweight division whilst shortening up the amount of weight classes then you could just copy the Amateur weight classes to be fair, 11 of them...

[Spacey1991]

Light Flyweight: up to 106 pounds
Flyweight: 112
Bantamweight: 119
Featherweight: 125
Lightweight: 132
Light Welterweight: 141
Welterweight: 152
Middleweight: 165
Light Heavyweight: 178
Heavyweight: 201
Super Heavyweight: over 201

This is the amateur weight classes at the moment, I aint saying exactly like this obviously not... but with a bit of altering about the difference between the weights it could work.

Yeah actually come to think of it that would work... it would look like this;

Junior Flyweight - 105
Flyweight - 112
Bantamweight - 118
Featherweight - 126
Lightweight - 135
Welterweight - 147
Middleweight - 160
Super Middleweight - 175
Light Heavyweight - 190
Heavyweight - 215
Super Heavyweight - 215+

I'm not convinced. Heavyweight should stay as it is imo. Heavyweights just need to get in shape by eating right and working harder in the gyms etc.
It's no wonder people aren't challenging the Klitchsko brothers when they are that out of shape. They have no stamina at all it's an embarresment to the sport.

This would be the top list in the "ordinary" heavyweight division:

1. David Haye
2. Eddie Chambers
3. Ruslan Chagaev
4. Fres Oquendo
5. Oleg Platov

Doesn't look too bad, does it?

[Spacey1991]

Still though, wouldn't this have more possibility of it eliminating the history of Heavyweight Boxing?

[Davros?]

Outside the Klit there are no Superheavyweights that are any good, Its been proven time and again that shorter heavyweights can beat tall ones. I would actually get rid of the cruiserweight division and integrate that back into heavyweight and increase the weight limit of Light Heavyweight.

[Boxingwizard]

Light Flyweight: up to 106 pounds
Flyweight: 112
Bantamweight: 119
Featherweight: 125
Lightweight: 132
Light Welterweight: 141
Welterweight: 152
Middleweight: 165
Light Heavyweight: 178
Heavyweight: 201
Super Heavyweight: over 201

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 143-150
LW 134-142
FW 126-133
BW 120-126
FW 113-119
SW 112-and below

I agree. LHW division is too small and the CW division is too big tho. I think the CW division should get 190 back as its upper limit. That would enable many more talents from cruiserweight to get into the "new" heavyweight division. LHW should be 170 to 179 and CW 180 to 190.

both klitschko brothers have been beaten by smaller men, so stop bitching about size........
