LOL there's hardly any talent from cruiserweight and above why would we want another higher division.... :hat
Cruiserwiegt division was supposed to end talk (I never expected it to) of superheavys. We don't need more divisions, we need less fat guys fighting.
No doubt there is a need for a new SUPER heavyweight division. The goons above are short sighted, opinionated, but not too bright. What most repliers fail to comprehend is the future. With Russia and other European countries pumping steroids and Hormones directly into their fighters veins using IVs, the next crop of fighting monsters will likely be even larger then the current crop. The KLIT sisters were just experiments, improved versions of the failed Valuev cave man boxer experiment. Bottom line is; Heavy weights will continue to get bigger, even larger than the Klit girls. It would be foolish and absurd to keep these monsters fighting in a division for which they are too large, overwhelming their smaller (more talented) opposition by sheer height and weight differences. Solution: Move all the upcoming monster, slow as molasses, and stiff genetically engineered freaks to the new SUPER Heavyweight division.
Very true. Not to hate on the Klitschko's I actually like some of their fights but the impossibility of unification at the moment is painful information to hear. Yes I agree wih most of what you said but Jones only had 1 fight at heavyweight and beat Ruiz. I wouldn't call that incredible success but to see his speed in that fight was incredible plus he picked up a title so there's no way I can hate on that. Also I'm a Roy fan so I should and do love that fight lol. Hay and Adamek were good cruisers but now that they moved up there's no one else yet to fill the gap they left in that division. Haha. It would and that's another reason not to want it.
Perhaps a super heavyweight division is required for guys like Lennox Lewis and the Klitschko brothers who fight at 240+. They have an unfair advantage over smaller heavyweight like Tyson, Holyfield and James Toney who ideally weighed 215 - 220ish in their primes.
Precisely. Especially if these big guys are superbly conditioned athletes...their reach and power advantage is just too much.
That's what I'm getting at. Lennox at 245 vrs. Holy at 215 may be a good fight but it was not pure fair sport...one man had a significant size advantage over the other.
Humans have always gotten bigger over time. Theyll have to eventually, theres weight classes for a reason.
