    I can only assume you're trolling at this point. Have fun with someone else.

    Not even in the slightest. We just simply disagree on the matter, and quite a lot.

    But your trolling is repeatedly referencing the lower divisions. Further trolling by not even being consistent with your own argument, do you want a cap at 250 as well? How about one at 280? How about another at 310?

    Ideally, yes. It would be reasonable if there were more divisions. However, I am not advocating for it. Maybe in the future when every top heavyweight is 280+.
    But for now, I am fine with Cruiserweight being as it is. Ideally 175, 190, 220, 220+. But this would dilute the talent in those divisions, which would hurt the sport.
    108, 115, 122, 140, 154, 168 have to go tho.

    Well the top heavyweight today is 220 pounds, so he wouldn't even be a HW in your system.

    Get rid of every tweener division, get rid of CW and Bridgerweight.

    Let the guys fight at their natural weights.

    I was thinking more Cruiserweight the that are naturally well over 200 pounds, a lot of them are. I think weight cuts of 20 pounds are pretty typical for Crusierweights, but I don’t know exactly. a lot of cruiserweights without dieting and dehydrating for weight in can easily be 215 or 220. Which is a smaller heavyweight for sure now days. But it seems that boxers that weight can be the best at heavyweight when you consider Holyfield and Usyk have had two of the better careers at heavyweight ever.

    How many bigger heavyweights ever could beat Usyk, Holyfield, Ali, young Tyson, Holmes. Ali, Tyson and Holmes are all boxers who could have easily cut down to under 200 pounds.
