    I thought it already existed but because of the lack of fighters it's not that well known. :s

    I don't think it matters. Let say the HW limits 250lbs and Super HW is above that, then the Klistcos is still the HW champions and the Super HW champions would be meaningless as the people would know they will get beaten in any weight by the Klistcos.
    The same thing would happen if you set the HW limit to lets say 220lbs. A new fighter will become champion, but this division will be treated like the current cruiser weight and the Klistcos will still get the traditional fame of the HW, but now called Super HW.

    Thats funny Terry because before David Haye fought Wladimir you were constantly whining that there needed to be a SuperHeavyweight division.

    There's already more than enough weight classes in boxing.

    No. What should be done is a readjustment of the weight classes. From Flyweight on up, increase the maximum by 10 or 15 pounds. Flyweight would be 8 stone 10 (122); Bantamweight 9 stone 2 (128 ); Featherweight 9 stone 10 (136); etc. Middleweight would be 170 lbs, light heavyweight 190, cruiserweight 220, heavyweight over 220.

    No. All fighters can weigh just as much and more if they desire, I don't see the problem. The division is lacking as it is, who will be in the super heavyweight division? Wilder, Wladimir and Vitali?

    Hahaha, right. Between the Heavyweight and GigaWeight, the best fighter within those weight range would win without crossing any weight boundaries. That's the way it is with the big guys.
