    Fights for the title will be less predictable and therefore more exciting. But the quality of the division may even lower, unless there is some sort of rennaissance, which doesn't seem likely right now.

    Nope it won't.

    Problem is, as soon as the brothers are retired there will be 5 possible "championship" belts floating around. And then we get sub belts too to make it even more scattered.
    We already know the state of mind of the current contenders -who are the ones that pick up these trinkets- not even fighting eachother now, let alone when they can call themselves "world champions" and feed of feeble contenders making loads of cash.
    Look at the other divisions, most beltholders aren't fighting eachother there also.

    In Tyson's time there was a tournament going to unify the belts. Nowadays that's even harder to imagine.

    The division will lack quality but the title fights will be far more entertaining and competative

    d klitschkos r not of any better quality than Adamek , Haye and Chambers .
    They r bigger and there4 more effective but not better .
    This is y a SHW division is needed .

    Weigh ins should b held by ring entrance . CW limit should drop back 2 190 .
    supercruiserweight should b 190-205 , heavyweight at 205-220/225 and superheavyweight at 220/225+ .
    This way it will b fairer 2 all and d weight cutting **** and draining would stop .

    Stop with that SHW nonsense and all...

    Can you imagine they would have trown Ali and Foreman in a seperate division, simply because they were a lot bigger as their opponents?!
    Same thing with Lewis, Bowe, Tucker and Golota?!

    No f'kin' way that would do the division any good. The only reason some fans want that, is because their heros would suddenly stand a chance in the new handycapped heavyweight division.

    Heavyweight is and should always be an OPEN class, without any limits. To determine the strongest of the pack.
