By sslg99: After witnessing unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) wrestle, elbow, headbutt, and finally knockout Steve Cunningham, I see the need for the super heavyweight division. I feel that many heavyweight fighters just rely on their size and dominate smaller fighters because of it.
Fighters who are so close but just can’t make the cut off for cruiserweight, are stuck fighting giants. That’s not fair to them, and to us fans who don’t want to see a young, talented heavyweight fighter be blanketed by a much larger opponent.
Not only would the matches be fair if there was a super heavyweight division, they’d be much more entertaining for viewers. No one wants to see another fight like Fury vs. Cunningham, because they are boring, there’s no other way to put it.
By sslg99: First of all, I would like to congratulate both Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1., 30 KO’s) and Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KO’s) for putting on a great fight last night at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. They both fought better than they ever had before and they both gave their opponent a lot of trouble. The fight could have gone either way. Personally I had it 114-113 for Austin Trout, But I would have completely understood a draw. I would even be fine with a 1-2 point lead for Alvarez. If the outcome of the fight was a draw I think both fighters would get more credit and there would be a larger clause for Alvarez – Trout 2, which is a fight I would love to see.
