Should they bring the 190lb division back as Junior Cruiser?

I'm not desparate to see another division I just think you can make a case for 175-195-215 and then the Heavies with the size of the big guys these days.....

And no, I don't think Dempsey-Willard or Louis-Carnera are reasons why it shouldn't happen....

 

I agree at the very least it would encourage the bigger guys to get their weight down to compete

 

Mike Tyson? Evander Holyfield? Joe Frazier? All wearing between 200-215 at their best and not the tallest, all beat bigger fighters. And I actually rate Carnera more than most ;-)

Okay, only Louis faced guys comparable to the Klits (Holy bigger by the time he actually beat Bowe) and these are some amazing guys I'm mentioning. But would we need someone as good as those guys to beat what we currently have?

A small(ish) Heavy could still do it IMO. Not Haye though.

Not Haye :nono

 

Or Haye-Valuev :hey

 

It depends if the Klits are a blip size wise or whether that size of fighter will become the norm in top level HWs.

ATGs like Tyson, Holyfield, Frazier being able to beat bigger guys isn't going to help 99% of the 210lb fighters that are getting outweighed and beaten because of it. Its not all about the top end of the sport.

 

Amen

Cant believe in this days and times anyone would suggest creating more divisions

 

You know one of the organizations would call it 'Super Light Heavyweight' just to be dickheads.

 

No in the amateurs there is 81kgs (12st10lbs?) and the next division is 91kgs (14st 4) Its good enough for the AMs then there is no need for it in the pros.

 

change cruiser to 190 and have a 190-225 division....if your going to change it. i think leave it as it is though.

 

Yes. The gap between LHW and CW is ridiculous.
