WBC Create Bridgerweight

[chinarich]

Hopefully the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO don't follow suit. It'll probably get binned off if they don't.

It’s difficult to see the WBA not following suit, would they miss an opportunity to create three more ‘world’ champions?

[Grilling Machine]

I can see some sense to it, a 207lb fighter vs someone at 245lbs is a big jump (provided both are fit).

I get that, but 207lb is a 200lb fighter. Most of the top cruisers now are in the 215 region, and if you made their division 220 you'd get 230+ guys coming down.

I'd suggest updating it to 210.

[ShadrachSimmo]

It’s a rubbish name. What name can we suggest that is better? (Or as bad) I suggest

Dreadnought weight? Juggernaut weight? Trawler weight? Truckweight?

Bollockweight....

[dookus]

Total fūcking bollocks

[chiggsy]

Medium jacamo jumper weight

[Cyclops]

It's fornicating stupid!

Bullweight, Rhinoweight, Bisonweight, LandRoverweight, Congoweight, BigBenweight...

It's big but not massive.

I like bisonweight and bullweight

Costumeweight?

[Kit]

Fritzelweight

[MightyWarrior]

Cretins

[ILikeBeer]

It’s so Wilder doesn’t have to fight Fury,

[THEBUTCH]

I can't believe it's not heavyweight title

[Fylde]

Have they produced rankings for this yet ?

[ShadrachSimmo]

Has to be Wilderweight Shirley?

[forcefraser]

What a crappy name.

I'd prefer it was called Sutty Weight in honour of the recently passed ripper.

[dazzler]

Bruiserweight?

[gilgamesh]

Once again let me just reiterate for the 5000th time. F*ck Mauricio Sulaiman right up the ass with a rusty sword. What a complete and utter waste of oxygen that scumbag is.

[danconnollyeire]

Literally makes no sense. If you walk around 210/215, you’re a cruiser. If you don’t wanna make cruiser, it’s cos of the glits and glam of HW and you’re prepared to fight much higher

Also, let’s see Usyk, for arguments sake, beats AJ, can he not unify vs Fury cos he doesn’t make WBC HW?

You say f@ck mauricio, so the natural question is: would you let him f@ck you up the arse , balls deep, if it meant he left boxing forever and no more bridgerweight

or do you not hate him that much

I’m not sure how it works, but I’ve known kids in the ams eat into a division when it’s for a belt.

Nah I wanted him to get f*cked with a rusty sword on account of it would end him. I wouldn't take one up the ass for the sake of Boxing no

Surely when the WBC put this list together they must have realised that the fighters who have asked to be considered aren’t world class.

Laggoune was beaten by Tommy McCarthy in his last fight, Chamberlain is a fairly small cruiser who hasn’t had a meaningful win in a few years, Babic has beaten no one of note and a lot of the other fighters have proven they’re not quite world class at either heavyweight or cruiserweight.

The WBC have really pissed me off since Suliaman Jr took over.

This. Szpilka was battered by Chisora and Jennings lost 2 in a row to Rivas and 9-0 Joyce yet both in a position close to fighting for a world title

[Coco]

Could Wilder make the weight?
