WBC Super Heavy weight

Honestly WBC Guy does got some solid ideas that I think are good for the sport & this is one of them. But he should be killing a lil guy division or three at the same time he's adding a big guy division.

I like the idea even I think there are too many divisions out there.

However, its the lower divisions that need to be streamlined. YOu have a goddam division every 2-3 kgs which is insane, and you expect HW to fight people 20-30 kg heavier. There should be some reasonable distribution in lower weight classes.

100%. If you wanna fairly align weight divisions you need to have a 8% jump, for example, between every division. This bs where there is a 3% jump between 105 to 108, a 5% jump from 140 to 147 & a 14% jump between 175 to 200 makes no sense.

The ease with moving weight divisions as a lil guy is also why the most common 3 weight division champs are guys who won their belts at 105, 108 & 112. That's only a 7% weight increase from 105 to 112.

In theory it makes sense. The game has moved on and today’s heavyweights are huge. The bigger heavyweights and smaller heavyweights don’t really belong in the same division, if you look at the rest of boxing.

The reason most people don’t want it is historical reasons, and the fact there’s already too many divisions.

Personally I think the lower weight classes with 3 and 4 lbs weight difference could be joined together. I know 3 lbs is quite a bit at that size, but those fighters seem comfortable moving through the divisions, but at HW, sometimes you’re talking about a 40lbs+ difference now.

Personally I think Flyweight and Bantamweight could be one division and get rid of the light or super versions. Maybe even featherweight too.

It is a very ****** idea that will never work. First the WBC does not run boxing and nobody else will recognize their idiotic new weight class. Every good fighter who weighs over 200 pounds in lean fighting shape want to be the true heavyweight champion. The good old fashion unlimited heavyweight champ. The don't want to be the champion of a bogus 225 pound weight class. They don't want to be called the badest man of the planet exceptfor guys who weigh over 225 pounds. They don't want to be protected from 300 pound boxers. On the contrary if a 300 pound boxer is the heavyweight champion they want to fight him. Fury is huge but lots of smaller heavyweights would like to fight him.Most really good cruiserweights leave that weight class to fight at heavyweight for the money and prestige. So why would any good 225 pound boxer stay in that strange weight class rather than fight in the unlimited heavyweight class where the big money and the glory is at. Holyfield, Usyk, Haye and so many other good cruiserweights did not stay cruiserweights and they would not stay in a 225 pound weight class either. Wilder was almost always below 225 pounds at the weigh in and was the WBC world heavyweight champion for years which proves this new 225 pound weight class is useless and unneeded. Things are fine he way they are.
