Comments Thread For: WBC Prez To Lower Cruiser Limit To 190, Which Will Force Boxers To Bridgerweight

[vital1983]

Should have called it Super Cruiser if anything.

Hopefully the WBA, WBO and IBF don't recognize this division. Then we can hope that the WBC will no longer be a major belt. We would then be back to just 3 belts.

Yup.
There has never been a better time to get rid of all these belts. & what We Be Collectin are doing just magnifies the problem.
1 governing body.
1 name
1 face
1 title

Mauricio Sillyman needs to be shut down

[Shadoww702]

This DIRTY HOE!!!! Wants to throw his WBC belt to be up for grabs between Canelo and Smith yet neither is ranked at all by them...

I’m okay with the idea of adding a new weight class but bridger weight sounds dumb.

Super cruiserweight sounds better.

Or cruiserweight, heavyweight, super heavyweight

Discusting.

The ranking list they bring out in December is going to be interesting reading.

I'm not a fan really and can't see the point. I'm not sure other orgs will want to follow suit.
I can't see some kind of hybrid division being formed, I don't see any of the smaller HW's wanting to campaign in the new division.

Usyk, Wilder, Povetkin, Hunter, they're all chasing HW prestige and money. As you would imagine Gassiev is, and the likes of Briedis will be if he should move up.

Lets hope the other sanctioning bodies ignore this like everyone else

I like this move, but Bridgerweight is a rubbish name and it should be 214lbs.

168 - Super Middle
175 - Light Cruiser
190 - Cruiser
214- Light Heavyweight
214+ - Heavyweight

Simple.

Hmm, not bad but check this...

168 - Super Middle
175 - Cruiser
190 - Light Heavy
224 - Heavyweight
Unlimited - Super Heavyweight
