    That's because it can be, imagine Valuev againsed the likes of Lewis, Bowe, Holmes, Foreman, Holyfield, Tyson or Tua? even Moorer, McCall, Bruno, Ruddock etc.....christ when you name all these guys you realise what the division is missing....some proper talented fighters. They would all smack that lanky fuck to next year.

    I'm sick to death of these fat fuckers with piss poor footwork who can't even slip punches properly or even work off a jab, they match these guys with a KO in mind "er yeah, he hits hard, he has shit defense, should end in a KO". It's still not exiting though because most heavies are fucking shit. I can go round the back of a pub and see the same shit.

    Rant over

    Why should there be another weight class?

    Beyond a certain point any size advantage these guys have is outweighed by the fact it makes them slow and ponderous, with poor movement and very upright.

    Guys like Wlad and Vitali and Lewis before them are the maximum height to be to take maximum advantage. Any taller and history has shown repeatedly that it becomes a liability rather thana an asset.

    The division is great as it is. I already think there are far too many weight classes, 8 is plenty, I really don't want to see another one.

    Imagine if Valuev could punch his weight he would hit whoever and it would be where did he go then you would hear a scream and he has landed on the car park attendant if Valuev hit hard it would be exciting to watch him.
