Why is there no weight limit in the heavyweight division, but all other divisions do?

[Redd Foxx]

Heavyweights is where man fight man no b#itching about size.....I'm 5'9 170 pounds I just got in a fight with a guy that's 6'3 about 230 pounds and I didn't give a **** even though I got my ass handed I held my own.... that's how Heavyweights boxing is..

WTF??? This is a sport. People over the age of 14 like to see sporting matchups that are evenly contested. You guys with your backyard fight fixations...

theres a point where they get so large they start to decline from lack of coordination (valuev)

unless we see some revolution in selective breeding/genetic engineering we dont really need to worry about seeing a division of valuevs in our lifetime

as for wlad, he's not THAT much larger, its the way he carries it compared to other 240 lb men and retains his technique that makes him unbeatable

I've always wondered why they weigh in for Heavyweights when there's no limit.

I assume its just for show but Could you technically just say i'm not doing it.

Manny Steward always said there needed to be a super heavyweight division.

Boxing is simply outdated..that old school mentality of no need to increase the HW limit is dumb.Dont agree? Look at the current rankings...All but one guy is about 220 in the top 20 ...out with the old in with the new...boxing needs to wake up is the reality....225 plus Hw or Super HW is needed. Even the amateur boxing with 225 SHw division is smarter,they have it already.



The old saying a 200 pound guy will beat a 250 pound one is dumb! Even if one existed that's ONE guy.

Super heavyweight in the amateurs is 201lb+

...I guess im not used t seeing a super Hw ranking and no one under 220.... still makes no sense as a pro when no one from 200 to 220 really fights at Hw anyway.
