I don`t wanna see you again. Unlike Bivol, you agreed to put your name on Canelo`s resume for a huge payday.

WBC is already doing this with the Bridgerweight division. Well, they’re separating smaller heavyweights from bigger ones.

Right now I think it’s 200 - 224, but Mauricio Sulaiman said he wants to lower their Cruiserweight to 190 lbs, making Bridgerweight 190 - 224 lbs.

It’ll throw everything else off if the other sanctioning bodies don’t adopt it though.

I don't want the separation.

I want the inclusion of all heavyweights.

The Cruiser-weight 200 pound limit, and that new division the WBC has created or is creating ? Just gives these old school heavyweights more places to hide out.

Off topic, there is a sub-culture with people in sports obsessing over safety and fairness 'Or the perception of fairness'. I don't think this attitude mixes well with combat sports.

I can remember when the halo was introduced to formula 1 cars, yes this halo is vital. But at first I had a issue with it, as did some drivers 'I would say the halo has been good, as it has allowed formula 1 to remain open ****pit racing'. I think the halo or something similar was introduced into IndyCar 1 year before Formula 1 started to use such safety measures.

Then you have all these touch line camera's and video assistance in ball sports.

Boxing for me, needs not to fall into the obsession 'Sometimes this culture can take away the authenticity of sports'.

The heavyweight divisions needs to stay as a open class division, with no separation.

And for the lower weight classes, I actually think they should re-introduce the same day weigh in's.

LMAO I can fight into my 40s no problem. Let's see I hope he can and keep his health.

Because I have a theory that the classic heavyweight i.e The Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, Tommy Morrison, Ray Mercer, Muhammad Ali, Michael Moorer, Mike Tyson, David Tua, Ron Lyle, the classic physique old school heavyweights are all hiding out at Cruiser weight since? The introduction of the 200 pound limit.

Don't forget Rid**** Bowe

Don't forget Rid**** Bowe

Rid**** Bowe & Lennox Lewis were the first signs of the emerging Super heavyweights.

Well throughout History Super Heavyweights have always been about in my opinion. I just don't think they dominated.

With modern training and sports nutrition. I actually think this helped Super Heavyweights become functional. Before then they were ether hit or miss.

Somebody like Tyson Fury, living and training in the 1930's for one? Is not going to weigh 270 + pounds. Fury in many ways is a bi-product and has benefited from modern sports science 'And it is the same with Anthony Joshua'.

Rid**** Bowe & Lennox Lewis differ, as their training routines were predominately based on old school techniques. Lewis could travel back in time to the 1930's, and pretty much be the same fighter 'Lennox Lewis would be unaffected by the environment'.

That is what for me a old school fighter is, somebody who can fight in any area and maintain their style and condition.
