    the division is a disaster. we need guys like Kovalev, Ward, Stevenson, and yes, I'll say it: GGG to move up and start challenging HWS like but better then steve and Huck.

    just IMO

    You want guys like 160b GGG to face 240lbers like Wlad? What are you some sort of sadist or just an idiot? Why not get Roman Gonzalez to face GGG? It's actually less of a weight difference.

    Cruiserweight you might have a point but any lower than that and you're wasting your time.

    And go back to the situation we had pre 80's with lots of undersized HW's trying to do battle with guys 50 to 80lbs heavier?

    I like how OP doesn't list a single cruiser.

    True.

    WE need more small HWs for SHW Klitscho to dominate with his size, making him an ATG.

    Yeah that's the point. More guys who follow in their footsteps. Huck almost won

    And you had no cruisers to suggest moving up? Just a bunch of LHWs and a MW?

    No thanks, I'd rather have them be at their respective divisions than see a bunch of size mismatches at an already ****ty division.

    Do that, film the fights in black and white or really grainy color, and you've got the division pre-1980.

    Ironically enough plenty of people pick those guys H2H against the best supersized heavies of the last 25 years, yet play the size card for why modern fighters can't move up with the same success today. Even if the people in question are world class Cruiserweights who are actually bigger than many classic heavyweight champions and top contenders.
