Another New Weight Class?

Tuesday July 29, 2003
Boxing is in need of less, not more. Less sanctioning bodies. Less weight divisions. Less "champions". Yet trainer Emanuel Steward supports the idea of a "small heavyweight division, with maybe a cutoff at 220 pounds". Not bad for guys who weigh between 190 and 220 who would rather not face the likes of Lennox Lewis or Vitali Klitschko ... but not good for boxing.
