Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Admits It's Difficult To Split Heavyweight Division in Two

[MisanthropicNY]

Like I said you guys need to combine Europe to compete. We are fighting Luis Ortiz next -- I like too see Dillian Shyte last four rounds with Ortiz, you can try a little harder than that.

I'd like to see you last one round with me... JS... Watch your language and don't ever disrespect Dillian Whyte like that. Show that man the utmost respect.

Great idea! Imagine if a small Jack Dempsey went up against a giant like Jess Willard. Little dempsey would get smashed.... err hang on.

Most fighters on the bottom end of the heavyweight scale are there by choice. More prestige, money etc.
We will never get to see another Mike Tyson smash through a dozen slow, superheavy weight giants.

Can someone with computer iq get an online petition going.

We Be Crooks are living up to their name.

No need to split it in 2 , juts put a max weight on the HW division like the UFC. A fighter cannot weigh in more 265lbs in the UFC.

Heavyweight is supposed to be the division without any weight limits.
Where theoretically anyone of any size can compete, if they think they are good enough.

There is no need to split it

I still from time to time rewatch Tiny Chris Byrd beating GIANTS like McCline and Vatali QUITTING.

This was a guy who started pro as a Light HW (175)

Year before that he was a MW silver medalist.

2 years before that fighting at 154...

Just because Joshua is going destroy the amateur Windmill - they are thinking about saving Beyonce LOL

You can't make this crap up. Obviously, Beyonce called up the WBC and asked them to save him from Joshua:

Beyonce Windmill: "Yo, WBC Prez, split the heavyweight division in 2 while I stall for time by asking Joshua for 50/50."

Don’t create another Heavyweight division, create another Cruiserweight division and amend the weights

The title of Heavyweight Champion of the World has historical and automatic prestige. A crooked organisation like the WBC should have no right to mess with that. They forget that they are one of four..

Everything with weight divisions boxing should just copy what MMA does. In MMA they say HW is under 265lbs & there is a super heavyweight division for 265+ guys, but its a freak show just like cats who weigh over 265 in boxing. Sorry Big Baby, but your ass is a quality freak show fighter til you lose some of that baby fat.

And just logical I standby EVERY division should have a limit or have a certain rule that commissions follow with guys being within certain lbs of each other in HW just like they do in every other division. There shouldn't be any fight where guys are 50lbs+ more than their opponent. Lotsa mfers freak out about PEDs & talk about weight draining champions in lil guy divisions, but no one sees that these giant mfers hitting each other at HW are historical the guys most punch drunk in boxing. There needs to be more safety measures taken for these guys.

Keep pretending that the quote on the split is literal -- making high demands is how you get a better cut, ask Joey Parker haha! Its chess not checkers rookie.

Same shtheads who wanted Manny to take that flat fee from Floyd..AJ team the one stalling fight with Wilder

Oh sh^t right on brother. I didn't see you saying this or I woulda co-signed you with my response cuz yea I agree. Boxing needs to do everything MMA does with weight divisions. Less of them & less lil guy divisions specifically & a limit on HW cuz everything over 265 is a freakshow in MMA & Boxing.
