Once and for all, change the name. These guys do not descend from Joe Louis.

Let’s face it. Heavyweights being called Cruiserweight is just plain wrong. And Superheavyweights being called “heavyweights” is just plain wrong too.

The divisions above Lightheavyweight need relabelled


Since it is called “light heavyweight”, There should be nothing between Light heavyweight and heavyweight. No new weight class. Nothing was ever needed there.

the next weight up from LH should be called heavyweight. Not Cruiserweight.

micheal Spinks and Roy Jones did not need it.

The new weight should have been SHW. And pro boxing should never have begun calling traditional sized Heavyweights dog gone Cruiserweight !

biggest disaster of all time was inventing “cruiserweight”.

Therefore, bigger than “light” Heavyweight is “actual ” heavyweight.

not cruiser.

Amatuer boxing got this right. They realise above light heavyweight you can only ever have heavyweight.

what the Olympics got right was adding a new division called Super heavyweight, separate from heavyweight, for the new sized athletes who (thanks to modern training) could now compete at top level as boxers.

so Cruiserweight should be called Heavyweight.

 

Not one bit. If he’s good enough he’s big enough.

okolie is a heavyweight.

everything above LH is a heavyweight. If he won’t fight heavyweights called Cruiserweights then he can stay at lightheavyweight. He’s entitled to do that.
