Would boxing be better if the Heavyweight division was seperated into two?

      Here are my examples:

      From 200lbs up to 230 lbs this weight division stands as the heavyweight divsion.

      Then from 230 beyond, a new division by the name of, Super Heavyweight could be formed.

      What do you reckon?
      Silly question and thread, I'll just give you this and you figure it out:

      Chambers vs Dimitrenko
      Barrett vs Fields
      Ibragimov vs Briggs
      Chagaev vs Valuev
      Ibragimov vs Whittaker

      I could go on forever but hopefully you get this.

        I dont care for having a 135 and 140 but at some point it probably didnt seem necessary. I say try it out.

          If you want a new weight class, you're admitting the smaller HWs from the past could not hang with the big HWs like the Klitschkos. If you think they could, there's no reason for new weight class, eventually a good small HW will appear again. So, which one is it?
