When they fight a 6'2 guy it is not a contest. It's like a middle weight fighting a heavy. I think starting a Super heavy weight division would give more cred to the Heavies and give super heavies more opposition.
    Ahhhh! No....
    Come on bikersk... Were trying to cut down the # of divisions and you want to add one....

    Like we need another 4 more titles/champs.... Fighters like Henry Armstrong, Joe 'Barbados Demon' Walcott fought through divisions regardless of weight, height, reach etc. etc. if those fighters did it why should we add another division now?

    Yes I know - I had a Homer Simpson moment DOH!! But I guess my thinking (very amber coloured tho it was) at the time was due to the average size of guys ever increasing it might be worth consideration. As it turns out maybe it's not worth considering. We could always get rid of straw weight and cruiser weight......... But hey nothing was ever achieved by stopping stupid people from saying dumb things.
