Comments Thread For: WBC May Create New Division, Split Heavyweight Class in Two

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

One of the bigger stories coming out of the most recent annual convention from by World Boxing Council, is the possibility that the sanctioning body will create an 18th division. According to World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman, his organization is exploring the idea of splitting the heavyweight division in two - heavyweight and super heavyweight.

Not making enough in sanctioning fees huh

It would take luster away from the "heavyweight" division and probably bring it to the new super heavyweight division. I don't know... maybe in a perfect world, Cruiserweight is moved to 190 or 195, "Super cruiserweight" is created for say 225 pounds (or maybe 220, especially if cruiserweight is changed to 190, but 190 might be too close to light heavyweight and take the luster off of light heavyweight), and "Heavyweight" remains unlimited.

If they do it though, that's how they should do it. Creating a "Super heavyweight" takes the luster away from the word, and the division, "heavyweight." Heavyweight is supposed to equal the heaviest weight, the kings of the sport, size wise. Making a "Super heavyweight" only takes that title away from "heavyweight," but with confusing names. Leave the heaviest weight class as "heavyweight," and just make the one in between Cruiserweight and Heavyweight into "Super Cruiserweight." Or just give it its own new name, like "Classic Heavyweight," since that's around what heavyweights used to weigh in the "classic" era of heavyweights, but leave "Heavyweight" as the largest division.

Or whatever. I guess it doesn't really matter.

what a disgusting fat piece of **** sulliman is. With all the millions they pull from fighters, cant he hire a chef and personal trainer and not walk around a fat slob all the time

[jonnyc420]

Cant way I am a fan of this idea. As everyone else is saying WBC just looking for more money.

[BigStomps]

This fat greasy, sloppy, piece of shet is just looking to collect more sanctioning fees by adding another piece of shet belt!
Mauricio Suleiman needs to join his dad 6ft under!

This sport will be ruined with Heavyweight and Super Heavyweight lmao.

This is professional boxing, not ****en AMATEURS for christ sake.

[Pandur]

I would honestly consider walking away from the sport as a fan.

This is just disgusting.

[Pandur]

This is getting ridiculous.

17 weight divisions already and 4 major championship belts.

It would be really bad for the sport.
