    The thing is though, years ago anyone who was 6'5"+ where usually sufferers of giantism and where rather lumbering and had poor co-ordination and muscular/skeletal dissabilities. But now as average height has increased and people have got bigger there are plenty of extremely large Boxers, Football and Basketball players who are very athletic and sharp for their size. I know smaller guys have knockout power but against very big opposition who are quick handed, fairly smart boxers who work off the jab to make full use of reach, they don't have much chance unfortunately.

    We can't even sustain a decent HW division.

    Why would we have a Super HW division?

    When I say ABC I mean one of the random belts thats out there. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the WBO, that belt is worthless.

    But more than likely IBO, NBA or whatevadafuk belt that crapping up boxing today. The WBO is least crappiest of the crap belts, but I still don't think it should be recognized.

    No. I think bumping Cruiserweight up to 200 was a good move. Guys that can't make 200 are pretty big dudes to begin with.

    No there shouldnt be, although i wouldnt be suprised if one of the greedy *******s at either wbc/wba/ibf/wbo decided it would be a good idea to do so.

    With unimposing big heavyweights like Wlad and Valuev? Hell no! A reasonably talented 215 - 220 pound heavyweight could knock these big stiffs off the top of the division.

    Problem is that there aren't any good small heavies in this talent weary division besides a chinny David Haye.. but give Haye a better chin or a better defense and at only 215 lbs he would own this division.

    No.

    Lewis was a superheavy but got beat by two 6'2 guys. Bowe lost to a 6'2 guy as well.
    Wladimir and Vitali have both lost to guys clearly smaller then them too, as has Valuev.

    Big guys have their own issues to deal with too.
