Just what boxing needs more weight classes.

[Thuglife Nelo]

Yeah but how do the other orgs follow suit? And wasn't this all the consultation from Tony Bellew ffs? Association to Hearn and Matchroom... hmmm

Lol so this way it makes it impossible that the other cruisers can even unify with the WBC champ.

Who knows who actually wants this and why but somebody does if the WBC is going ahead with it.

People will cry but who really fights at 200/ 220 at heavyweight ? Wilder who just got blasted by a 270 pound man and Usyk who is a great talent ? You can’t leave wasted space for one guy . Practicality suggests you would create a new class based on what the average weight at heavyweight is which is 240 .

Just shows you Tony Bellew's mentality, he spent 80% of his career weight drained 'Because he wanted to feel as if he was the big man at 175' those are the facts.

Tony Bellew suggested this because? He does not have the courage of somebody like David Haye 'Or all the other cruiser-weights that have moved up to heavyweight' Bellew has basically admitted this himself, he would continually remind people that 'He has no intention of fighting super-heavyweights'.

Bellew stated that when he retired 'He was staying away from boxing? But he is behind promoting this nonsense, that will ruin the heavyweight division'. Bellew is a good commentator and pundit, I have no idea why he could not just stick to that.

The heavyweight division is 200 pounds and above 'Open class'.

If you want to be a weasel, I suggest you fight in this new weasel division 'That is what I am going to name it'.

The weasel division 'Where all the weasels fight'.

Note: I would be made up if there was a third fight between David Haye & Tony Bellew 'Haye probably has a better chance of winning now, seen as match-room rushed the second fight and disallowed Haye time to recover from his injuries 'If that fight happened next year, I still think Haye could at-least get himself in good enough condition to beat Bellew'.

****** and unnecessary. Nobody asked for this. If you're creating a new division why not cap HW at 280 and anything above is super heavy? All this is doing is allowing the current CW's who routinely weigh in at 200, gain 24 more lbs. They haven't really created a new division. 99% of HW's fight above 224lbs

[Citizen Koba]

Yeah. I was getting bored of only having 472 divisions anyway... Thanks Mauricio.

Why would you cap heavyweight at 280 . When it’s not common a heavyweight is over 255 ? What would be the purpose of that ?

If a CW wants to gain weight that’s their choice , if 99% of heavyweights fight above 224 that would be the reason wouldn’t it ? You then have 190 to 224 or whatever which makes sense. Lol
