Should the separate Heavyweights and Super Heavyweights?

They should account height for the heavyweight and super heavyweight. 250lb 6''1 or 6''2 is hugely disadvantaged over 6''7 or 6''8 guy of the same weight...

 

They should.

Removing some smaller weight class in the process. 17 weight classes with multiple belts are just a pretest to generate money for the organizations.

Olympics 10 weight classes, superheavy included, are a good base to start.

 

They should re-name cruiserweight "heavyweight" and re-name heavyweight "super-heavyweight"

Many smaller heavyweights could make cruiserweight, but they don't fight in that division because there's more money at heavyweight.

 

There should be no 108, 115 or 122 divisions.

Just 105, 112, 118, 126

Or they could just have 110 (flyweight) 120 (bantamweight) 130 (featherweight) and 140 (lightweight) and 150 (welterweight) 162 (middleweight) 175 (light heavyweight) 200 (heavyweight) 200+ (super heavyweight)

 

Yes. 210 lb guys should not go up against 260 lb guys. If there was a new division from 200-225 it would make for great tv and would be quite popular.

If there are too many divisions already, then get rid of some of the superfluous divisions in the lower weight classes.

 

new divisions are not a problem for me, SHW being a possible necessity if there are enough giants around to fill it.

I think there ought to be a distinction between classic divisions and new weight divisions, so that guys cant claim to be 3 division champions just by gaining a few pounds - instead the would have to claim 1 classic division title and 2 new division titles. This would make it easier to compare them to boxers of the past's records in multiweight divisions.

 

Nah a lot of the better heavyweights nowadays are smaller. It's a myth they are all over 6 6". If u seperate the two who are these "super heavyweights" going to fight?

**** idea

 

Super heavy weight would be made exclusively for future atgs the Klitschko's and Sugar Niko. American heavyweights tend to grow sideways and in waist size.

 

if they do they need to take away some of those lower weight classes. i dont want to watch two men that weight as much as a 12 year old girl, fight.

 

We already have 17 damn divisions, don't need an 18th.

 

Well then you miss out on some of the best action boxing has to offer as a sport. Nobody feels sorry for you!

 

It helps to think about this one for longer than two seconds. Do we really need or want twice as many titleholders as we have now? Hell no! Don't give the governing bodies any ideas because they may like that idea. No, bump up cruiserweight instead.

 

Definitely.
There are some countries (Russia, Ukraine) where steroid use is high and almost legal and some athletes have been taking them since their teens. These kids grow into 7 foot monsters and the sport needs to put them into a Super catagory.

 

Whata a load of garbage
