    Should there be a Super Heavyweight division?

    If your over about 235. What about moving the Cruiserweight limit up?

      No.

      Anyone 220lbs and up can and do compete at HW, anyone under 220 can boil down to cruiser

        Not yet but it may be necessary in the years to come. It may sound crazy but there may come a day when there is an 80lb difference between opponents in the HW division.

          Nope, that's the whole point of the Crusierweight division, to accommodate smaller heavyweights. They may need to revamp the division though, make it 210 or something.

            Nah they should do like the UFC & put a 265 or w/e limit on the HW division. Can't no body over 265 box or certainly there aren't enough guys that big who can box that there needs to be a door open for them to try.

              Heavyweight should be 200.1 all the way to 240....super heavyweight should be 240 and up....most the all time greats outside of lennox and wlad in their prime were below 240...the alis. foremans, bowe....etc.

              guys weighing 250-260 at 6'6" shouldnt be fighting 6'1" 205 guys

              it shows heart, guys like holyfield but its fighting with a handicap.

              Guys like Tyson fury should have to fight guys closer to his size more often.

                A 6'1" 205 pounder these days would cut weight and be a cruiserweight. The guys who are stuck in no mans land are guys like Monte Barrett who weigh 220 and are too small to fight a skilled big guy like either Klit or Lennox and can't boil down to 200 without being weak. I think eventually a super cruiserweight division will be adopted in the pros. The WBU had this division and Bobby Czyz won this title.

                  Hell yeah there should be a Super Heavyweight division! That would be great, I'm all for it.

                    I think so. Other divisions have so many variations of the weight class why not heavyweight?

                    this way you won't have guys like Huck fighting guys like wlad and fury
