I do think Manny Steward is into something with this idea. Wouldn't you like to see Eddie Chambers or Haye fighting eachother for the titles instead of having to fight the inhumanly big and strong Klitschkos?? I sure would. You've seen Chagaev against Wlad. He tried but he just couldn't do anything to put Wlad in trouble. It's just because he isn't big enough. There are so many "small heavyweights" that are very good but can't get to the top because of all the behemoths that have taken the titles, like one certain Russian for instance.

Yes i would, because although people tend to think that the spectacle of having a two guys in there where by one guy towers over the other to be exciting, it invariably is not exciting.


The reason for that is probably because.............(generally) in Boxing if you are taller than the opponent you have an advantage and if you fight smart and dont give up that advantage you should win the fight, and a lot of these big HW dont give up that advantage.

There was once a heavyweight and a super-heavyweight division but the sanctioning bodies unified it.

Mike was 5' 10" knocking out 6' 5" heavyweights, it all comes down to talent not height.
