Do Junior Weight Divisions Water Down the Sport?

Although I do think we may be closing in the day we need a super heavyweight division. Guys are getting ***in huge.

I don't think that it hs watered down the sport. The multiple titles in the division have

The average fighter works hard to make weight. I rather watch fighters working at their prime weight

I don't think we are close to that at all. Granted it'd be more fair cuz I think its a lil ****** that a guy could have a 30lb, 50lb or 70lb+ weight advantage in a HW fight & no one really thinks about it much. The problem is largely the bigger guys suck at boxing & just win fights based on superior size/power. Til there are big guys with talent I think Super HW would be a junk division to create.

I dont think its imminent but I do think it may become necessary at some point. A 6'2 225lb heavyweight is becoming a small heavyweight. Guys are getting bigger and more athletic it seems to me, that or the really bigger athletic guys are boxing more.
