    Default Re: The Solution: Create a Superheavyweight Division FAST!

    "big" guys like Clay/Ali (for his time) look how big he looked against Folley, Cooper, Quarry, Patterson, Marciano, Frazier (who were the traditional heavy size)......then Ali starts getting equalled or dwarfed in size by the mid-70s by Norton, Wepner, Foreman, Bugner, Holmes, etc in weight and size......my point is that Ali used to weigh-in at what, 214 in his prime (not talking bout that young kid Clay who coulda made supermiddleweight practically!)....BUT guys who weighed in at 230 IN SHAPE----how could they realistically lose 20 pounds and be effective at 210? I think it would sap their strength/endurance----look what happnened to Bowe when he rematched Golota, he came in light as a feather and was shot by round 4. Can anyone imagine Lennox Lewis, Michael Grant, David Tua trying to make 210--------NFW!!!!!!!! I support a SuperHeavyweight Division. Calculate a boxer's SuperHeavy percentage like a baseball player's Slugging percentage. Height/reach/weight all averaged in.
