Comments Thread For: WBO Head Disagrees With WBA's New Weight Class: 'Sometimes Prescriptions are Worse Than The Disease'

The name stays the same, the only thing that changes is the weight and I believe 230 lbs is the perfect benchmark.

IDK , I like the weight class no one fights at 200/224 anyway it’s a wasted space for years . The few who do or want to move down one .If you look at the Super CW rankings not one would be close to being top guys at heavyweight .

The WBA is just plain ******. There is to many titles already, pretty soon it will be a title every 5 pounds, Champion at 210,215, 220, 225, 230, 235 and so on when will it end? I believe any heavyweight weighing 212 lbs from the 1970's will beat any of these heavyweight clowns of today.

If you're gonna have a new weight class have it between light heavyweight and cruiserweight where there's like a 25lb difference.

Creating a more even playing field would definitely be worst. For weight-bullies.

This would sound sexier if they just called the new weight classes heavyweight and super heavyweight.

I agree with the weight class, but don't like the idea of their being a "super heavyweight class". Whatever the lower classes are named is fine, but heavyweight should always be uncapped weight

That's correct, and the statements made in the article are suggesting that nobody is going to care about that range of weights regardless of whether you make it it's own division or not. I think that's a fairly accurate assumption. The reason nobody cares about that range is because it's a lot of fat people that should be fighting at cruiserweight, but they are fat and nobody cares about watching them.

If anything scale Cruiser back to 190 and cap HW at 265, can't make 265? put the burgers and beer down then fat boy.

The weirdest thing about this new division is its a decision the boxer more than its a new division. Like if you are 160 you are a middleweight, but if you are 210, you can decide to be a heavyweight or a bridgerweight.

Speaking of diseases, the WBO’s cozy relationship with Top Rank is a cancer on the sport that also damages the image of boxing.
