I feel weight classes should be changed!

I've always wondered if introducing a 'Super Heavyweight' divison could help make the higher weight classes a bit more competetive.

The heavyweight division is iconic so they would never do that. They should lift the cruisierweight limit.

Sure nothing would be done, I think its just worth the debate considering the size of the new breed of heavyweight.

It would make little, indeed perhaps no difference. I remember when the (then) 190/195lbs division was created in the late 70s, supposedly to help 'small Heavyweights'. The reality was that it became a division for big/lazy Light Heavies.


The Heavyweight division pays more. If you are a 210lber and have the chance to fight a fellow 210lber for £50,000-£75,000 or have a £500,000+ pay day fighting a 250lbs Klitschko, I know what most would do, no matter what it is called...

As for weigh ins I too would bring back same day weigh ins. But I would make things safer by having an official weigh in two days prior, when a fighter must be within 3% of the contracted weight, or the fight loses it's title status, but there could be negotiations to decide if the fight could go ahead.

A better classification would be "Super Pussyweight".
