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

True but your talking about lucky punches that anyone can land. They both went on to have lackluster careers while klitschko and lewis are top 10 heavyweights of all time.

Those were not lucky punches. Brewster beat Klitchsko into submission and he said that vaseline was the reason he got tired. Lewis has been getting caught with that same punch his whole career. At some point, when a punch is being landed all the time, it's no longer "lucky". Lewis is a top 10 hw, but Klitchsko definitely isn't. Maybe top 15. I'll give him that but top 10? Hell no!!!

Terrible idea. The last thing boxing needs is another weight division.

Might as well add another alphabet title while we're at it.

The way that the WBO has somehow became a major title(and 20 years ago, it was a joke to even consider it as a title), I can see the IBO becoming a major title within the next 10 years if a popular fighter or someone in the UK starts defending it with regularity. Lennox carried the IBO and GGG/Anthony Joshua does now. I don't know how the WBO is more recognized than the IBO when they're rankings are better while having better belt holders.

Making a 190 lb and 205-210 lb weight class would make sense.

Make it Cruiserweight and Super Cruiserweight or something.

You have plenty of 225 lbers who can beat 250 lbers (like Wilder vs Stiverne.) We don’t need a Super Heavyweight class.

Jarrell Miller should be in super heavyweight.

Yea i thought about it after I posted, your right hes more like top 15, but i still feel like the smaller heavyweights should have their own weight class. Back when Lenox Lewis was dominating he was exceptionally bigger than everyone else, now you almost have to be that big to compete with the elite heavyweights

Terrible idea.

Don't do it.

Yeah! More sanctioning $$$ for the WBC!!! Just think: The real title, the regular title, the silver title, and a diamond belt!!!! And the Heavyweight division is stacked with talent!!!!

Damn. I thought it was going to be Drug Test Heavyweight vs. No Drug Test Heavyweight.

Just don't care about the belts, problem solved. If you put so much into these belts then you feel like you want to walk away from the sport. If they are meaningless to you then you would give a toss.
