    Yeah that's what I worry about kovalev. He seems to skinny to be a 200 + lber and at cruiser I don't think he'd be as effective.

    I think you are not truly "thinking your process" out! Boxing weights are LIMITS LISTED. Thus: you are "limiting" H to "200lb" and...."limiting" Super Hvy. to 230lb.
    I am pretty certain you "inverted" your >thought!< "Super Hvy" start at 230.
    You got to back off and bring YOUR STUFF back to the drawing board.
    If you mean it +200 lb +230 lb should list it like that using + but......it's pretty big project to make such a move.
    Problem in that you have disconnected the SM div.
    At present we are seeing: lh 175 sm 168 m 160 jm 154 w 147 Jw 140 & l at 135 ("all limits")

    Still..... You've then disconnected the sm div. WHAT? + of 160 to 168 limit move the limit up to 175 and your lh now start at where before it ended (?). Lot of the History gonna need aristis marks now!

    Why can't it just be 160, 168, 175, 190, 220, 220+

    Just start at 110lb and move in increments of 10lbs to 220lb. No need to watch overweight giants being gassed after the second round. You would have better level of comp at heavyweight because they would need to train and stay in shape and make weight for a fight. Better all around product. No catch weight nonsense, 1 belt, 1 champ per division. So when you get a guy with 3 or 4 belts in his career you know he was a fighting mother

    Probably not a bad idea actually. 25lb's between LHW and HW is a big difference. An extra division between them would be good.

    I would be happy if the cruiserweight division just received more attention from the media in general. To me it's always been an interesting division and I'm seeing a great deal of talent cropping up currently.

    It's one of the hottest divisions out there, but with the lack of US talent in there it won't get much attention on ShoTime, HBO or PBC.

    Just look at some of the names in there.
    Huck
    Usyk
    Makubu
    Lebedev
    Wlodda
    Chakh
    Afolabi
    Mchunu
    Glowaki
    Doritos
    and much more...
    It's stacked!

    Jr. already has his own division - it's LHW at 172 right now but he's reportedly considering relocating to 185 if they continue to make burgers.
