Thinking abstractly is it fair for one fighter to have a 40 lbs weight advantage?

Joshua looked better at his lighest. Quit making excuses, WILDER LOST.

Hey.man, Chris Byrd did it. So did James toney, rjj, and Mike Tyson. What would be the point of a super heavyweight division? Then the baddest man on the planet is only second fiddle to the what? Badder man on the planet lol.

If you’re Wilders size and you fight big then you’re going to run into someone who is bigger one day. You have to find new things to do, like move and use combinations when that happens.

If there was a heavy and super heavy division.

The heavyweight would be absolutely dead. It’d be just as lowkey as crusier.

Wilder is impressive because he knocks huge men smooth out.

Heavyweight has its appeal because it in real terms the heavyweight champion beats everyone. Like Fury when he talks about pound for pound?

It’s nice and all but Tyson Fury would beat the s.hit out of Lomachenko, lol

[Marchegiano]

Nope!


I could write a very long historical and scientific post but atm no one would be willing to read it. I hardly get readers when the forum is at a normal between fights state, when it's like this ain't no one got time for learnin'

I only mention just in case there is any interest in some history or kinesiology, but, if all you want is my quick two cent the answer is no.

Edit - I read the title like ass. I meant to say I don't have any problem with weight disparity.

Maybe not, but I dont have any desire to see more weight classes added or an upper limit being put on HW. That just further limits an already limited talent pool. If you dont like it cut and go down to cruiser I guess.

Nobody realised but Fury added ~15 pounds of lean muscle just hard to tell cause he is such a massive individual and actually sat on his punches this time unlike the first fight.

To put it in perspective how bad Ruiz let himself go he weighed 10 pounds MORE than fury and is significantly shorter.

[Vinnykin]

Wilder should drop down to cruiserweight if he can't handle heavyweight.

GTFO if you can't handle a real heavyweight like Fury.

James Gaines outweighed all of his opponents. Being bigger doesn't necessarily make you better. I personally think there are too many weight classes right now. It's the hw division. If anyone has a problem with it, go down to CW
