    Will we ever see multiple 205-220 lb Heavyweight Champions again ?

    With Uysk and Wilder being dominant will that bring old school size heavyweights back ?

    Take away the 200 pound cruiser-weight limit, and the 'Day before weigh in rule'.

    And there will be more classical physique style heavyweights fighting at Heavyweight.

    It is clear that most classical physique style Heavyweights are fighting at cruiser-weight.

    Not because they are cruiser weights, but because? The modern game allows this kind of behavior.

    With weight draining culture and fighters exploiting the 'Day before weigh in rule'.

    The last two cruiser weights to move up to the Heavyweights Division, both captured World Heavyweights titles.

    David Haye & Oleksandr Usyk.

    I have said it before and I will say it again? The Day before weigh in rule, dilutes the competition in the lower weight divisions.

    For me there is only 1 division, where the competition is pure. And that is the Heavyweight division. It is at any given time the best division in the sport.

      If they can ****, why not?

      Wilder was at his MOST dangerous under 220.

      Once you're over about 205 lbs, you can beat anybody.
