Heavyweights are getting bigger maybe not better.
Ali and the other old time greats would struggle with the size of the better coordinating big heavyweights of early 2000's.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Boxers are bigger in the heavyweight division these days and you have people like Bellew talking about campaigning and having ambitions of winning world titles but then openly admitting that they want nothing at all to do with the big heavies.
The problem is that the talent pool is so poor that splitting it up further would leave you with 2 absolutely shite divisions instead of one poor division.
It aint going to happen
Isn’t it called Cruiserweight

Will Rio Ferdinand have his own celebrity super crusierweight divison?
There should be less divisions not more! It thins out the talent and enables fighters to avoid tough fights. There should be around 12 weight classes not the 17 we currently have at the moment.
Seems this comes up every few years and disappears, rightfully so. Quality over quantity and we don't need another division for sure. Great way for wbc to make more coin though . Anyone remember when Bobby Czyz won the inaugural super cruiserweight title? Not so much and that division worked out greeeat. Max Kellerman was the first guy I recall harping on need for 'super' heavyweight division. About the time guys like Grant, McCline and Lance Whitaker were coming up .
in 2002 on thhis forum I called for a SuperHeavy division, and every year since then been callin for same FFS
I think everything below featherweight should be scrapped and I wouldn’t mind if they scrapped all the light/junior/super divisions between the real weight classes.

Okay I’d keep bantamweight but scrap everything below that. I find flyweight and minimumweight so uninteresting (seriously what grown man weighs 105lbs) I think Boxing could do with a shake up (it won’t happen) but less divisions and less belts would improve the sport immensely and nobody can deny that. It’s no secret that the best fighters usually fight from 140-154 so imagine if we only had 147! All that talent would be in one place.
