    Absolutely not

    Make two separate lists of top ten fighters in each division and you'll see how poor those divisions will look

    Damn, it's not like we haven't got too many divisions as it is?

    You want a new division for giants because they’re too stiff to compete with smaller, elite boxers?

    So basically what you're saying is despite the Super Heavyweights having considerable advantage in size, reach, height.

    Because they can't catch up to a smaller skillful Heavyweight like Usyk.

    We should lessen the talent pool of the Heavyweight division and make a Super Heavyweight division.

    So Super Heavyweights don't have to move around the ring and fight more skillful smaller Heavyweights ?

    Utterly ridiculous.

    IMO no, there’s not enough guys to even make a division. There is only a handful of guys who would fit that criteria. Besides Usyk proved it doesn’t matter how big they are.
