          dumb to make bridger from 200 to 224

          Giant heavyweights can be outskilled

          bridger should have been 175 to 185 or 190

            They already moved cruiser from 190 to 200 which was the right move

            It also aligns nicely with heavyweight for the Olympics which is 201 lbs so any heavywight Olympian can move to cruiser.


            No real point for bridger weight, anyone under 220 can just cut to cruiser.

            If you're like 230 you can compete with all heavyweights why cut to bridgerweight?

              Yeah 224 is way too high. Guys who are 240 can cut 16 lbs... Those are like the large heavies,

              And it overlaps with cruiser, how much does opetara weigh fight night probably at least 215


              At that point if a guy like haye or usyk wants to fight a Joshua or wlad they will just fight at heavy no need to fight in a middle division

                  Jai would have 30 pounds over Bivol and 20 over Artur

                  Jai VS Bivol’s Mexican friend Zurdo
