The Solution: Create a Superheavyweight Division FAST!

But then there will only be 5 or 6 guys in the entire planet in the Super heavyweight division.

Yeah I don't see the point of this. You'd basically be encouraging guys like Arreola not to train to become a world champion. The 3 world champions at Heavyweight would likely not compete at Super-Heavy, so all these tall, tubby fighters you speak of have yet to taste success. Creating another division wouldn't help, as you'd just have fans moaning that 2 divisions sucked.

When the Klitschko's and Haye retire, the division will probably get alot better. Adamek has pretty much cememnted his place near the top of the division just by defeating some mediocre opposition. The reason people have taken notice to him is because he's kept winning and he's been a champion in 2 weightclasses. The solution will either be that top stars from lower divisions move up or some quality amateur boxers go pro and move through the system.

If the Klitschko's and Haye retire, Andre Ward's dream of beconming a Heavyweight Champion some day might just be a reality.

A superheavyweight division is not even remotely needed as beyond a certain weight boxers are shit.

Did it escape you that the biggest fighter of them all in Nikolay Valuev was beaten by a guy coming up from cruiserweight and thus one of the smallest?

Beyond a certain critical mass size offers more disadvantages than advantages in reduced mobility. You can't use your size in boxing like you can in MMA. If Valuev could lie on top of David Haye he might have been able to use his size to some effect but as all he could do was punch, (and he punches slower than molasses) he was a relatively easy opponent to defeat. In fact most saw Evander Holyfield beating Valuev as well, another small former cruiserweight fighter, as well as a grandfather and likely brain damaged.

Creating an even bigger weight class would just allow the biggest guys to have a shot of winning world titles that they currently cannot.

Certainly they are not a factor in the division at the moment, in fact most of the best fighters are little guys, Haye, Adamek, Chambers.
