Should there be a super heavyweight class in boxing?
No, there should not be a super heavyweight division because if there was, it would tarnish one of the greatest prizes in all of sports- the heavyweight championship of the world. If they want to make it more fair for the smaller guys, then I think they should up the cruiserweight limit to something like 225 and leave the heavyweight division unlimited. They previously upped cruiserweight from 190 to 200. Also, just because certain heavyweights are undersized, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they cannot compete at the highest level; the former middleweight Roy Jones only weighed 193 when he beat John Ruiz to win a heavyweight title; and the former cruiserweight David Haye was outweighed by almost 100 pounds when he beat Nicolay Valuev to win a belt. Although the bigger heavyweights have the advantage when it comes to strength, the smaller ones have the advantage when it comes to speed.
