    Btw, I thought boxing was about the skills, not the weight.

    Or does that only fly for certain fighters?

      No.

      Adamek was not a heavyweight, he's a cruiserweight.

      If cruiserweight had a higher profile and they'd put the fights on HBO and Showtime, guys like Adamek, Chambers, Chagaev, Ibragimov etc would be fighting at that weight division.

        YES!!!

        I always thought that long before the Klitchko's, Heavyweight should go from 200-220lbs, then everything higher then that is Super Heavyweight

I'm tired of seeing these guys coming in at 5 ft 10 280lbs of lard and waste everyones time. The Klit bros' come in at 240 usually the limit can be at 250 just to exclude the porky's though.

                If it was just about skills and not weight then there would be NO weight classes would there? Floyd has great skills but would be be able to move up and beat the Klits? Hell no of course not.

                  The problem with this is, the Klitschko's are totally dominant and no one cares about cruiserweights. Move LHW up to 185 limit, move CW upto 215, HW open.
