    Usyk is the best boxer,but too small.
    He has to gain a minimum of 10-15 kg in a short time to compete with power, and the question is how much he will lose at speed. Height and range cannot be competitive. He can hardly win the title, and if winning, it will immediately lose like Ruiz.

    The only changes that are needed are to get rid of light heavyweight , super middleweight and super welterweight

    Never.

    If they want to address the problem, they should just increase cruisers weight range and up the minimum weight at heavyweight.

    People realize though right, that fighters are just gonna do the exact same thing cruisers do now, and just bulk up to the next division, for the payday?

    But anyways, imo if they want to address it, just have cruiser run up to 220lbs and have heavyweight be everything over that.

    Last thing boxing needs is another division. Especially of one as important to boxing as the heavyweights.

    I am supporting this idea. The last time I clearly saw the size advantages between Fury and Wilder, and I started to see the big impact. Tyson Fury 270 pounds against Diontay Wilder 215 pounds so how could the latter beat the former? Whenever Fury went inside to attack Wilder, the latter was in a serious situation. He got beaten badly in that fight while Tyson didn't even flinch when he took Wilder's shots.
