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.

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...
