hey wait a minute here... So Ortiz isn't really banned but should provide the WBC proof that he's healthy to compete. The Wilder fight is off, he's fighting the powerful and formidable Stiverne again instead, and it would be possible for Ortiz to be the next opponent anyway. Enter the "Super Heavyweight" division! BYE ORTIZ!
This. That would destroy what little life is left in the heavyweight division. The cruiserweight division for the most part is an irrelevant division for light heavyweights and heavyweights to hide in. The smaller cruiserweight fighters should be able to make 175 and many of the big cruiserweights could easily make heavyweight. WBC just wants an excuse to get more sanctioning money.
You'll have 8-10 fighters calling themselves 'heavyweight champion of the world' if this happens, it will be terrible for boxing.
they should just raise the Cruiserweight limit to 220 to make that weight class more competitive and light heavyweight to 190 and increase the lower weights as well to suit.
The current CW division is already one of the most competitive in the game, and actually fighting eachother too. No need to remove the up to 220 talent from HW and make the balance even worse.
