Should the HW division be broken down into divisions?

    Well, it is weird looking at past heavyweights and seeing that the large majority of them were nothing more than glorified cruisers and if there were ever a genuine super heavy they never seemed to have the skills to accompany their size. Guess the talent pool wasn't there. HW could be broken down into smaller weight classes but HW always seems to naturally move up in weight on average as it is so maybe it's not worth bothering the natural flow of things.

      That's just how the division works.
      I remember about 20 years ago, some sanctioning bodies seemed to recognize a Super Heavyweight Division, but it never seemed to catch on. Mostly fat guys with B!ch t!ts

        No. The guy that is not ready to face Fury or Joshua should lose some weight and go down to cruiserweight. What is the problem?

            No.

            The heavyweight division is 200 pounds and above, it is a open class division.

            Bigger does not always mean better, after a certain point? Most fighters seem to be flawed or defected in some sort of way the bigger then become etc Nature creates and refines, it does not just aspire to get bigger.

                This makes sense, I guess. I just didnt know it stops at 200lbs and below.

                  It's what makes the Heavyweight division special. People get in to these petty arguments of who is the best p4p or the best in this or that division. This guy cuts weight and so he's a "weight bully"
                  This other guy went up by 4 lbs so he's a multiple division champion.

                  At Heavyweight there's no excuse. You either can win or you can't. You don't get to cry about being too small. Makes it fun!

                    It is the ultimate division.

                    A fighter from my knowledge does not even have to weigh over 200 pounds 'If you are game enough? You are good to go etc'.

                      At HW they all have the mass to crack and hurt each other
