Larry Holmes says there should be a size limit at HW

[kushking]

He says because of Fury.......& that he took advantage of Ali...

[kushking]

Funniest thing about this is also that the article reads:"exclusive former professional boxer,rather than former hw champion like they would've said if it were anyone else,let alone someone who beat ancient Ali.

[Nash out]

Larry Holmes should never have showed his face again after that Ali disgrace. Everyone involved in that fight should have been banned from boxing. Nash out.

I’m not a fan of it personally but I feel like sooner rather than later there’s gonna be a new weight class introduced between Cruiserweight and Heavyweight. Similar to that Bridgerweight sh** the WBC are pushing. Cruiserweight was originally seen as a joke in the late 70’s and 80’s but eventually it became accepted by fans. I’m guessing we get a 200-225 weight class and they call it Junior Heavyweight or some sh** like that.

The problem is I don't think theres anywhere near enough talent for that to happen,& hw would just become a laughingstock

UFC cap their heavyweights at 265.

Seems crazy to me but I wonder if that would ever happen in Boxing.

If fighters learned how to fight with fundamentals, this wouldn’t be an issue.

I wouldn’t like to see it either. Think it makes no sense especially with guys like Usyk proving you can still be 6”3, weigh 220 and succeed at HW.

Yeah I remember Brock had a nightmare making 265 for the Hunt fight. I doubt they’d ever do it in boxing, too much history/tradition with Heavyweight being an unlimited weight class.

Well that's the point of weight divisions. So fighters aren't massively disadvantaged by size/weight. People are getting bigger.
