    a guy like Wlad is in amazing shape and couldn't make 230 if his life depended on it

    well he probably could but eventually someone will come along who is in great shape but just too big to make 230

    i think the point i was trying to make was everyone in the other divs have to make weight why not do the same for hw and if your too big i guess your too big if your 7'0+ i guess this would be a problem but there are not too many guys out there even a guy like goofi still came in at his last fight at 238 and he has always been at 270+

    Because its an open division? and it gets to the point where being bigger isn't necessarily an advantage. Cause not many men are 250+ pounds of muscle.

    :-( adding weight classes is the worst thing u can do. just look at other professional sports...when there is expansion, the talent pool gets thinner in every aspect. if anything they need to contract the crusierweight division. i would be in favor of

    HW: 185 and up
    LHW 175-184

    if the hw division is so ****, then all theses supposed great cruisers should have no problems being competitive and knocking out these "fat bums" like Wlad :yep

    I like the fact that heavyweight is unlimited. It's the only weight division where you can truly have these David vs Goliath type matchups, andUI'd like it to stay that way. These fat slobs usually weed themselves out anyway. The #1 heavyweight right now even in a dismal fat heavyweight division is still a man who keeps himself in slim trim shape... Wlad Klitschko.

    I fancy a heavyweight limit probably somewhere around 240 or 245. I think 240 is good enough. Anything above should be Superheavy.
