I don't mind the weight classes I think know they need to make the jump from LHW to CW a bit smaller though
I think a decent amount of Cruiserweights who are around 6'1-6'2 and on fight night weigh about 210-215 could beat the heavyweights. Would anyone be in favour of a limit to the heavyweight division. I believe in MMA the limit is 265lbs, which only huge guys like Lesnar need to cut weight for. The giant heavyweights such as Vlad, Vitali and Fury would come in under that, so maybe it's pointless. But would prevent the likes of Valuev from boxing, which in my opinion can only be good.
the jump from light heavy to cruiserweight is too big. Could also do with a division between cruiserweight & heavyweight. There's boxers like Haye who are too big for Cruiserweight & then facing blokes who are giants nowadays. (also, the belt situation is crazy, fooking super dupper interim diamond champion in recess will be next for fooks sake!!
I would like to further divisions at top end to reduce the big jumps Jnr Cruiser - 185 or 190lb Cruiser - 200lb Super Cruiser - 210lb Heavy Weight 210+ Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
The Cruiserweight Heavyweight jump can't be judged until fighters actually start training again. That means not being overweight or overmuscled but ready to go a hard 12 rounds. Do you honestly think it would be difficult for Ernie Terrell to weigh 240 pounds or Buddy Baer to weight 270 pounds by training a little less, pumping weights and eating a little more. Povetkin - fat. Browne - fat. Chisora - fat. Ortiz - fat. Arreola - fat.

That is an utterly pathetic Idea, just limiting the talent pool as well, why should you cut out freak athletes just because you think they are too big and don't look pretty. Valuev may have been slow and hard on the eyes but he was still hard to beat hence he became a champ. I am sure there will be others who pop up time to time but they are good for the sport not bad. UFC/MMA uses it as a marketing tool so that big fatter talented bodies don't have to be on display ruining their sports WWE image even though they are real athletes. Its worse with their women where the limit is 135lbs and they all look like beauty pageant *****es but obviously have f all real skill or talent (but they look good in a bikini)
