There needs to be a super heavyweight division

[SweetPea]

I don't think there should be a super heavyweight division. However, I wouldn't mind seeing the cruiserweight limit go up to about 210 or maybe 215.

There needs to be LESS divisions and LESS titles.

Buddy Baer
Nicolay Valuev


Those are a couple reasons for NO superheavyweight division

I guess I agree with that particularly less titles. When I had a more sober think about it, it does seem a bit unworkable anyway. Perhaps as sweetpea suggests the cruiser weight limit could increase, i'd then suggest it could be renamed Heavy weight and then have super heavy after that going from light heavy W to HeavyW makes more sense maybe than light H Cruiser W heavy W. Who put the cruiser in there anyway?

I think they did have a superheavy type division. I watched Harry Funmaker and Butterbean fight one time......

Yeah but that was in the extra super stupid weight division i thought?

Errr ok right we are going to solve the problem of a chronically lacking heavyweight division with barely a handful of competent stars by splitting that division into two

Unless Jesus is in charge to do what he did with the loaves and fish I fail to see how taking half the heavies away and putting the in a new division is going to add quality

Yes i'm starting to think that I shouldn't think out loud.

Ok Ok not my finest moment. It seemed oddly reasonable at the time though

I almost agree with that...If not for the fact IMO heavyweights are not going to stay so large....The average HW will be around 6'1"-6'4" 220-250 again with in a few years....

Besides like Lyle said there have not been too many great big big men...Valuev...OK fighter but not elite..average at best..his size is the only thing in his favor...

Who else?...Carnera, Baer, Whitiker, Grant, all fell on thier faces when pushed....The best big HWTS have been

The Klitschkos, and of Course Lennox Lewis....

I would count Foreman but he is really the norm of an average HW today plus he only stood 6'3"...and at his prime was around 225 I think.....

Also if you need depth in one division it's definently heavyweight!
