    I did not mean that the Klitschko's would cut down to that weight. I meant boxers the Klitschko's size can cut down to that weight.

    Its not hard to imagine a boxer Wladimirs size not being able to compete with either Klitschko so he might cut down to 220. If you had a division under 220 pounds you would still have big men in the division that are not good enough to beat the champ in the super heavyweight class.

    Forget a Super Heavyweight division, just creat a 6' 6" plus division and have the Klits and Valuev sit in a circle jerk ad infinitum.

    I really dont see the use in splitting the devision. The Klitchkos arent unbeatable supermen. 3 guys proved it against wlad and 2 against vitali. They both suffered losses when the devision was stronger. I just think the devision is really weak apart from the 2 world class giants.

    Yeah, here's the divison

    1. Wladimir Klitschko
    2. Vitali Klitschko
    3. Tony Thompson
    4. Kevin McBride
    5. Dustin Nichols

    After the top 3 the division falls apart pretty quickly.

    LOL @ the butthurt Haye fans.

    How about we adjust the heavyweight limit up to 225. Anyone between 200 and 225 can fight in the new '***gotweight' division. So named because it was created for the ****** Haye to hide from the Klits because Haye's ****** fans can't cope with him getting beaten.

    This might be a reasonable idea... Although I hate the idea for another (there are too many already) division.

    But instead of "***gotweight" :D let's call it the "Super Cruiserweight" division, because there are good boxers in there too, not just losers...

    But I'm certain the TS doesn't want that, because it wouldn't be a case of removing the biggest, heaviest and strongest boxers from the heavyweight division and thus removing them from the historic lineage. It then would be a case of the "can't cope with the biggest" guys fighting in a sub heavyweight division, and then they would not be called in the same lineage anymore.

    .... and who would participate in that division?

    Wlad, Vitaly, McCline, semi retired Valuev and probably
    .... Toney if he could be back to 245+

    problem is that Klits are huge, fit and skilled, while the outer guys are just huge and fat!

    LOL...i agree. Which is why I called them cry babies and whiners. But there would be good fighters in that weight class, so ***gotweight isnt good. ***gotweight would just be for the pansies that complain and whine that the champs are too good. Maybe they can make their own federation where they all hold hands and play volleyball

    It's really kinda ridiculous. Until there is someone so above the rest that there could be absolutely no case made for them being beaten by anyone in history, this shouldnt even be discussed. Eg. Mike Tyson...personally, I think Tyson would KO Vitaly as Vitaly would stand with him and not be afraid, but I can see Wlad UD over Mike, keeping Tyson at Bay with jab, and hugging when he got close. Agree or disagree, you have to admit there can be a case made for either of them beating Tyson and either of them losing. Foreman, Ali, Frazier...arguments and debates can be made for so many.

    Now, someone like Superman...I think he KO's Tyson and any other Heavyweight who ever lived. If Superman ever flies to Earth and starts fighting in the ring, then we could revisit this whole new division. Until then, a 5'10" fighter would have a shot at either one, ala Tyson. Maybe we should make a good division and a mediocre one?

    Thing is Vitali and Wlad aren't THAT big.

    Sure they look huge next to Adamek, Chambers and Haye,but thats because thiose guys are very small heavyweights who can fight at cruiser.

    What really sperates them is their being big AND having ability. I mean Tony Thimpson was just as big as Wlad but he just wasnt as good as him.

    Most heavyweights out there are 6'3, 6'4 and in the 230s.

    I won't come back to earth til 2013. Got some **** to sort out. So you're gonna have to wait another 2 years before I return to waste the entire heavyweight division.

    Any talk of super HW is just envy from fans of fighters who cannot make it.

    Get over it.

    Chisora is a "superheavyweight"... he weighs in at 240lbs+ & was a massive 261lbs against Fury.
