Don't you think your being just a bit ridiculous with that new belt title? I mean come on, you've not nearly got enough words in there to do a new belt justice!
I’ve said on here before there should be another weight there. There probably should be one inbetween light heavy and cruiser as well in my opinion. It stops hindering people who are stuck in between the massive weight differences.
I think it's partly because we're seeing more and more big 6ft 5+ heavyweights now, fighters weighing 18-20stone. It is a massive jump to go from Cruiser to Heavyweight now.
If this is happening do it properly. As mentioned the gap between Light Heavy and Cruiser is too much. So take Cruiser back down to 190 and have a new division with a 210 limit.
Ive been all for this for years....Its almost as if boxing doesnt care about heavier guys.... Its dangerous at the moment having that gap between 175 and 200...obviously there are guys inbetween who either have to kill themselves to make 175 or are not big enough for 200 ,its a huge leap... i quite like the 190 ,210 idea,,....especially now that there are superheavyweights at 260 lb and more
If they’re going to leave Cruiser at 200lbs then I’d rather they introduce a new level between Light Heavy and Cruiser than Cruiser and Heavy.
They should leave it as it is. Over 200 pounds you basically have knockout power at every level. Tyson, Haye and Wilder all hit like a ton of bricks and weighed less than 220. Why on Earth you’d want to create a barrier which stopped the above fighting the likes of Lewis/Joshua/Klitschko I don’t know. A huge part of the intrigue in heavyweight boxing is speed v size.
Should reduce Cruiserweight limit to 13.8 ib like previosly, help bridge weight gap from LHW to Cruiswerweight and bring in a new division around 15.5.
I would introduce a 184ib (around there) division just for the lads who can’t boil down ‘healthily’ to 175 but aren’t big enough for 200. Isaac Chamberlain springs to mind who has that issue imo.
