    And it's always the same boring style that these giants impose on the smaller fighters. Jab jab jab, clinch, hold jab jab jab.

    BOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRIIIIIINNNNG!

    There needs to be weight and height restrictions for the heavyweight division. No one wants to see that boring shyt.

    I wanna see fighters like Holyfield and TYSON.
    If the Heavyweight division bores you, don't watch the heavyweight division. I didn't start getting heavily into lower weight classes until the Klitchko era began.

These were very strong men who plowed fields, worked hard, and ate well, and had brute strength, not just muscle size but tendon and ligament strength which is where you get your power.
      Then why have giants literally been dominating the division for the past 2 decades?

        It would be a way of getting rid of flubbers. No other division has flubbers. Send those fat bodies up to ''Super'' Hw. There should never be a 25+ lb differential between fighters.

          I used to be for it, but these days I think I'd rather just see a ceiling on HW.

          Logically its kinda effed up weight matters in every other division so much but to boxing its all fair game if you are 200lbs or more. That's f#cking ******.

          I like stealing sh^t from MMA cuz I think they've considered the pros & cons more with weight divisions & rules better & more recently than boxing so I'd lean towards how they do it. Make CW 205 (maybe even 210 or 215) & max out HW at 265.

          Ain't very many guys historically worth a damn over 265 anyway. And sorry Big Baby but you need to drop some weight.
