Heavyweight should implement a WEIGHT LIMIT to improve itself.

[NihonJim]

260lbs just like the UFC

No athlete benefits from being above that weight.

Fury, Miller, Bakole, Ruiz

All these fat asses would BENEFIT from having to get into a bit better shape to make a 260lb weight limit.

Let them get on the scale and make weight like all the other fighters

Calling it "pure ****" might be a bit of reach. It's nowhere near the golden era, but the last several years have been pretty kind to us fans, in general. There have been some fun matchups, first undisputed champ in Usyk (since Lennox) some 25 years ago, the Wilder/Fury trilogy (it was great, c'mon, admit it), AJ getting upset by Ruiz in his MSG debut on US soil (at the time, that was a real shocker), and even somewhat of the passing of the torch moments involving Wladimir Klitschko against both Fury and AJ, albeit the former was atrociously boring, the latter was a FOTY contender/winner that year. Several others that I'm missing, but you get the point. The consensus top 10 are all pretty formidable in their own right, and we have an interesting crop of new faces on the horizon, with a young prospect in Moses Itauma that we haven't seen since the days of the Dynamite Kid. Pure ****? Nah.

No. The heavyweight division has always been the open class of boxing, you should be able to weigh whatever you want. From 100 lbs to over 260 lbs.

And live with the consequences.

Is it truly "open" now, though? I thought you had to be over 200 lbs to compete in the heavyweight division?

It isn’t truly open now because they do have a minimum weight limit. But it used to be, that was the intent of the weight class.
