The way it's going...

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

In the relatively near future, for lack of available participants, they may have to do away with the flyweight class...and heavyweight may have to move to, say, 215 and above. But PLEASE, we cannot let them call it the "Super" heavyweight class. It's still HEAVYWEIGHT. Imagine the "heavyweight champion of the world" is not even champ of the biggest weight class in the game?

I don't see what is up with it as it is & I don't see why these smaller heavyweights can not make cruiserweight (200lbs) personally.

Its not as if these cruisers in Germany aren't making decent money either. Most are probably making more than these lazy HWs are for crushing cans.

[Bushbaby]

You're the real Iceman correct. I was watching some espn classic & I'll be damned, you called Bramble/Mancinni, & quite a few other great fights, that's crazy. I was dying of envy.

I think it might be time to re evaluate all weight classes. You dont need as many classes and the range could be bigger. You could max ww out at 150 and then make 151-160 MW or something like that.

Disagree.

As long as there are countries like Mexico, Japan, Thailand, Philippines etc...there will be fly weights.

Second, humans have evolved because of nutrition, advancements in training etc and they are getting bigger, stronger and faster than ever before.

Look at the NFL for example, linemen are bigger than ever, RB's are monsters now and LB's weight 300lbs almost.

Boxing is no different, there's no reason to think a 212lb man should be fighting a 260lb behemoth. It just makes no sense and we are seeing fighters get bigger and bigger as the years go on.

[bojangles1987]

This probably will happen someday, but it doesn't need to happen now.

Eventually, heavyweights will get big enough to where they would probably be best off reclassifying both heavyweight and cruiserweight. I agree, no super heavyweights, that's dumb.

The weight classes are a reason I wish I had control of **** in boxing. I would change so much about current weight classes.

[ИATAS]

It does need to change. No man walks around at 108-112 pounds. These guys often weigh around 140 between fights. Midgets weigh more than 108 pounds! We're talking about Jockeys here basically who diet to maintain these tiny weights for riding horses. Makes no real sense in boxing in this modern era.

Yeah, BushB, I ended up doing about 35 fights for the ESPNClassic network with Joe Tess...a lot of fun, definitely...
