Comments Thread For: Mormeck is Angry: Wladimir Fight Was Stopped Too Early!

If it's nonsense why do they have it in the amateurs? By there being super and regular divisions in the HW class doesn't mean that all the people I mentioned can't challenge the super heavies if the wanted to move up to that class, it wouldn't be any different than other fighters moving up and down in weight. I can see your point though. And i wasn't taking anything away from the Klits they are extremely good i recognize that and appreciate it as well. All i want is the smaller HW's to have a competitive division to compete in, I see no one beating a Klit anytime soon.

If you want what the Ammy's have...you have it. Amatuer Heavyweight is Cruiserweight (plus a pound). Everything else is Super. That's the same structure as the pros. It should stay that way. Another division would make things worse.

There have been guys who were tall and big in the past. Wlad is a very good athlete. Lewis and Bowe were also athletic and big.

Cruiser weights are for the 220 lb guys, but there's no money in it. They go up but usually are too small.

The weight class is fine IMO.

Mormeck should thank the referee for saving his life.

Mormeck should be glad it was stopped. If not he would have been on the floor more than 2 times.

As for this whole super HW thing, its nonsense. Boxing doesn't need more divisions and more belts. If anything boxing should be cutting divisions. I mean from 112-130 you have you have six divisions. Seriously you could eat footlong sandwich and be in another division.

What was Mormeck going to do? Throw a punch?

another sad indication of how pathetic the HW division is these days -- that there is so little legitimate competition out there that an over the hill cruiserweight like Mormeck with no credibility gets it there with a K bro -- the K bros are both excellent all-around fighters but c'mon, it's ridiculous that they haven't even been remotely challenged for about a million years by anyone -- what we have is a bunch of B level guys who bubble up to 'contender' status, get their shot and the it's back to fighting on ESPN -- what a shame

You do realize that heavyweight division in amateurs is the same as cruiserweight in pros.

Probably not.

Ok, I misread the weights. You're right I was wrong. The Klitchkos are unmatched in the HW division is the point I should have made I guess.

All kinds of funny news today.

Because in the Amateurs, they are kids still growing, they aren't men yet. Marciano was 185 lbs and he didn't have a problem beating much larger fighters. Joe Louis was 6'1" 190 lbs, and he didn't have any problem. Mike Tyson in his prime was 5'10" 215 and he had no problems beating the Razor Ruddocks twice, Pinklon Thomas and several others much larger than him. The Klitschkos dominate because 1) they are pretty good and skilled, and 2) they hit really hard, and 3) they show up in shape. The rest of the division looks like a bunch of auto mechanics, big, slow, out of shape, looking for a payday. The heavyweight division is the most pathetic it's ever looked. You don't see to many young, carved up fighters like you had with a young Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield.
