    Only for heavy and i agree its a dumb idea but its not as dumb as adding yet another division where all you really want to achieve is in shape athletes.

    If people really so desperately want to exclude the Klitschkos then put cruiser back down to 175 - 190, heavy from 190 - 215 and then super heavy from 215 and beyond.
    Highly doubt either Klitschko could make 215 but that said the super heavy would be the marquee division anyway.

    People just need to stop crying though, the Klitschkos win because they have great fundamentals, stay in great shape all year around and are fully 100% dedicated to their sport.
    The rest just sucks and needs to work harder.

    Nah I wasn't laughing because I though it was a dumb idea, I just found it funny is all :good

    You hit the nail on the head, Klitschko haters are just desperate for any excuse to exclude the Klitschkos from the HW division, and since they know nobody can beat them right now, they want to exile them to a freakshow division. Too bad for them, the Klitschkos can probably cut down to even 220-225, so even if this idea was put in practice they would still be f*cked :yep

    Yes, they should make another weight division for really big heavies out there, the difference in size between a 200 lb fighter and 260 lb fighter is far too big and extremely unfair.

    Most fighters above 240 suck, with few exceptions, so how is it unfair? When you get too big you lose mobility and coordination, without really getting an increase in anything except maybe durability, look at Valuev, Haye, Chagaev, even Ruiz and shot Holyfield (arguably) beat him.

    They dont need another heavyweight division. Do you think superheavieys is a new thing? The history of the heavy divion had smaller heavies steam rolling bigger heavys. Yeah lets make another division to make things even more scattered an confusing.

    Primo Carnera was a huge heavy. He lost to a smaller man. Valuev huge heavy lost to a former cruiser. Tyson stretched many huge heavies at 5 10. The klitchkos size isnt the only reason they are champions. Like I said before the reason the heavyweights are losing to the klitchkos is because lack of talent not size. If the wanna be a heavyweight be a heavyweight. You dont wanna be a heavy drop to cruiserweight. We dont need to erase over a 100 years of history of a division just because these contenders cant win.

    Eagles are not that heavy. How about the Pterodactyl-weight division?

    There was the same size difference between Ali vs Patterson as between Wladimir vs Haye. It didnt matter back then, why should it matter today....

    By that argument you can say that flyweights should fight cruiserweights because cruiserweights have less mobility etc.

    No, because at CW you haven't yet gotten to the point were the drawbacks of getting bigger offset the benefits, you should know this, I think you're just trolling.

    How is it unfair when Valuev has been beaten by smaller men? Was unfair that Ali was bigger than Patterson too? :patsch
