I called for the same. People don’t want it for whatever reason.

Yeah, it's a bit nieve when guys around 220 are giving 50 lbs or more away.

Yes, boxing needs this big time!

Super Heavyweight has a nice ring to it too.

Jr. Heavyweight - 220
Heavyweight - 230
Super Heavyweight - 260

That's all we need right now ProBox

Why does it need one? So people can continue pretending these big lummoxes that they call super heavyweight are better?

I would respectfully disagree, definitely do not add a super heavyweight division.

A good or great smaller fighter can beat a much bigger opponent, as has been proven many times.

I fondly remember Moorer, in his fights with Cooper, Holyfield and Foreman. He was especially powerful at light heavyweight.

The current undisputed heavyweight champion is a 220lb blown up cruiserweight.

Once you are over 6'2" and 200lbs, if you are good enough the size doesn't matter that much.

Of the big guys around now I'd argue Fury is the only one who actually imposes his size to his advantage.

We have a new Bridge Weight Division for men that weigh up to 224 pounds. ANY one under 224 pounds qualifies. So you could have a middle weight competing at Brider weight.


Heavyweight means there is NO weight limit. So any boxer is welcome to compete here.

last thing the sport needs is more divisions

Wrong, size matters. There have been no men between 200-210 Lbs ranked in the heavyweight top ten for years. The men who best fighting weight of 200-210 Lbs is extinct at heavyweight today.

Go on and find me one If you think I am wrong.
