    Should there be a weight limit at HW?

    Watching that fat f*** Miller’s last two fights and he had up to a 90 lb weight advantage, to put that in context that’s the bigger than the weight disparity between Roman Gonzalez and Oleksandr Usyk. That is not safe IMO someone could get seriously hurt fighting at such a weight disadvantage. Should boxing impose some sort of weight limit? The UFC has a limit of 265 lbs which I think could work, it would also force some of these big lumps to get in shape when they fight.
    Thoughts?

    It's been fine for 300 years.


    And Miller is nowhere near the biggest heavyweight. Hell, i think Wilder gave up close to 200lbs once.

    And Miller is in shape. Just because you don't like how he looks doesn't mean he isn't. He can go for 12 rounds at high volume. Something AJ can't do, and he has the body that most think a Boxer should have.

      WHy would they limit that weight? Miller has a high output for someone that big. He tried to cut the weight previously and he stank the place out. Muscles might look nice on TV but that doesn't mean sh it in the ring.

        I would not mind seeing an open class beginning at about 240. Obviously boxing weight classes are just upper limits, there is nothing to keep someone who weighs less from challenging up.

            I’ve got no problem with how he looks aesthetically, but there is no way he is in proper shape. I guarantee he can’t go 12 rounds at any sort of intensity, someone like Knowacki or Takam would have him blowing out his ass.

            I also just think it’s dangerous having a 210 lb fighter against a 310 lb fighter, someone could get seriously hurt, that sort of sh** should not be sanctioned IMO.
