    So Tyson, who usually fought under 220, wouldn't get to fight anyone bigger ? I suppose it's just a sign of the times as these guys are just "too big for him" today. And they would kill him. Sure.

    Can't they just jostle the existing weight classes abit? Move super middle to 170, light heavy to 185 or 190, cruiser to 220 to give the smaller heavies who are to big to take a big drop in weight to -200 pounds a chance (I'm thinking Povetkin, Chambers etc) and have heavy at 220 plus, so anyone who goes there is doing so out of choice not necessity and can't complain when some 6 foot 8 monster wins just because they can't reach his chin. No more weight division please.
