    Which is why they could adjust at 220. Cruisers aren't going to carry 225 better than fighting naturally at 215.

    If the current cruiserweight thought they could dominate HW easier they would be HWs right now . Having to weigh over 220 to compete at HW isn't more effective then staying at 220 at cruiser fighting guys who are smaller.

    All the HWs are over 225 so what are they splitting?

    No Super Heavyweight Division.

    Instead focus on penalizing Super Heavyweights for pushing, because the weight advantage in pushing is big.
    That's how Kevin McBride was able to beat Tyson, by pushing and using his 30+ weight advantage over Tyson by simply laying his heavy body over him, which is what tired Tyson.
    McBride should've been penalized early and of he had continued then DQ him for fouling Tyson by pushing too much.

    There is too many divisions below 135.
    However i think there should be a 185 or 190 pound division.(partly because i weigh around 195 when in really good shape and 178 is very hard to make and i would have to lift weights and eat alot to perform optimally at 201 as an amateur) A 25 pound jump between LHW and CW is absurd when there are 4 pound jumps at featherweight. There is no need for any more divisions above 200. There are CW who weigh in at 200 who rehydrate to 220.
