Would make no difference. Many of the smaller heavyweights could fight at cruiser easily as it is but don't as it isn't where the money is. Believe Eddie Chambers has said this himself, although he now wants to move down for a bit to win a title.

The smaller Heavyweights would still want to fight in the glamour division, where the money is, and that would become Super Heavy.

I agree the only change I would look at making would be to possibly raise the LHW limit. It's a huge jump from fighting at 175 to 200 pounds. Especially as some cruisers may be boiling down to 200, so 210 or something on fight night.
