Heavyweight and - may be - cruiserweight should be splitted up?

    You're a clown if you think that is a fair comparison. Hunter wanted to fight in the HW division. It was his choice. You think he's thinking to himself this isn't fair they have like 20-30 lbs on me what am I even doing? No he wants to win. He apparently is vegan and has to eat 6k calories a day or something and his body still looks like a soft bag of shyte, but that's on him. You are a complete imbecile and buffoon.

        Nothing should change. Wilder getting his ass beat doesn't mean much to the legacy of boxing.

          Nobody would care about that non-giant division.

          Simple as that.

          That heavyweight champ would be held in the same regard as Usyk is now.

          Usyk is brilliant. But he’s not even considered a factor at the moment

              And you all should understand one simple thing. If Fury was not that kind (he was fighting like an amateur in first Wilder fight), he would kill smaller opponents with bad or lack of defense..

                  That's why heinous mismatches shouldn't be so prominent in boxing. And if you're averse to seeing someone risking their life maybe this isn't the sport for you.

                      The thing is as is said by Fury often actually anyone over 200 pounds is capable of knocking out the other guy anyway. Their brain will slide around their skull just the same. It’s not like they’ve got giant craniums. Maybe Valuev did but he was a legit Giant it seemed. Haye still came close to putting him out.

                      It’s not like these are little men. Heavyweight boxing has shown since the game began that demonstrably heavyweights by and large can’t take sustained punishment from another heavyweight.

                      I do agree that a smaller man is going to struggle in clinches against a bigger man but that’s the heavyweight division. No weight limit.

                      Also it’s part of the spectacle. The classic David Vs Goliath.
