Comments Thread For: Thank You, Oleksandr Usyk, for Eviscerating the Bridgerweight Concept

[TDLand]

Usyk is the exception, not the rule. 9 out of ten times the much bigger, skilled fighter wins. Usyk is a generational fighter.

Bridgerweight should have been 185lbs

There’s definitely a gap between Light Heavy and Cruiser that needs addressing

Heavyweight has no lower or upper limits. But generally over 200+ is well accepted and respected
The current bridgerweight is redundant. The article is correct

The WBC don’t have the influence to make this work as they intended

How is it correct when there’s a average of a 50 pound gap from 200 and above bc the average heavyweight is just about 245 pounds ? Lol

Yes a 200 pounder will hit harder on average but you guys need more critical thinking here no one can give me more then 3 guys who fight below 220 bc I don’t think there is that many so what is the point of having a class that includes 200 pounders ? Can anyone on here answer this simple question ? Lol

Heavyweight was always meant to be the open weight class. Where everyone can try their hand if they feel up to it regardless of weight.

Bring back 15-round fights and that will equalize the playing field even more against these big giants.

Michael Spinks, Michael Moorer, and Roy Jones Jr skipped cruiserweight altogether and went right from light heavy to winning a heavyweight title.

It's supposed to be hard to become a multi-weight world champion. We don't need to dilute their accomplishments any more by making it easier for future generations to match them.

Yes. Chasing greatness should not be easy.

just another part of sissyfying the world.
