1. There is a division for those guys its called: CRUISERWEIGHT 2. There are already too many divisions in boxing, in fact there should be LESS divisions
You gonna tell me there needs to be a weight class between 122 lbs and 126 lbs to protect the fighters!! But Huck has to move up one weight class and give up 50 lbs! Huck is 200 lbs Vitali is 250 lbs.
Cunningham was talking about moving up to heavy and was excited to go spar with Wlad back in June. Haven't heard a peep from him about moving up since
Anyway I realize that Vitali/Huck makes sense financially. However, if Huck wants to move to heavy I'd prefer if he target guys his own size. Adamek or Boystov would be excellent opponents for Huck.
The only reason for Wlad to offer sparring to Huck is so they can detect any potential weaknesses in his arsenal. So essentially, Wlad knows that Huck possesses powers team Klitschko is unable to thoroughly comprehend at this point. They fear him.
Huck is a dumb highschool dropout, nothing more. He has zero boxing skill and looks like a club fighter. He should be grateful he can earn paydays at CW. He'd be decapitated at HW not only by the K brothers but by most top 10 HWs.
It's not fair to ask someone like Haye to boil down to 200 when his best weight is 212. A super heavy division is necessary. Even Emmanuel Steward (whose man Klitschko would lose out if there were 2 divisions) has called for a super heavy division. He said the amateurs have known this for years but the pros refuse to catch up.
This. Would be a shame for Huck to start his HW career with a loss. Vitali way too experienced (and big) for him.
Yeah, but just before 96 Wladimir Klitschko was still "heavyweight". Haye and Solis were also "heavyweights". What Steward is getting at is that pro boxers grow bigger than they were when they were amateurs.
If anything the cruiser limit should be pushed up to 210lbs. No more divisions and the little humans with their 4-6 pound divisions should all be put into 20lb + divisions.
