    He's right, of course.

    I'm not sure what the reasoning behind a 225 and a 225+ division is.
    Old man Povetkin just smashed the WBC #1 contender while weighing 224 to 252.
    Wilder was WBC champion for 10 straight defenses, I think. And often weighed under 225. His best wins, against Ortiz, he was well inside 225.

    The 25 weight gap between light-heavy and cruiser is a problem, like Enzo said.
    Cruiser should go back to 190, and they can call 200 "super cruiser".

    I would make cruiser 189 to 210 and leave Heavyweight as it is.

    It's a ridiculous idea and will just water down the quality in each

    Ive been saying for years there needs to be 2 weights between 175 and heavyweight ....

    perhaps 190 and 205 .....then let the giants 250 lb roided monsters fight....

    It just is not fair now.....Povektin and Hunter are great examples ,its no wonder juice is involved when boxers are caught between 20 lb too heavy and 20 lb too light..

    Can you imagine 147lb goes to 160lb ? Ask Kell Brook
