A "super heavyweight" division would be bad for boxing. "The Heavyweight Champion of the World" is THE prestige element of the boxing universe. If you invent a "super heavyweight" division, you are effectively devaluing your most valuable commodity, which is insane.
On the other hand, raising the minimum weight for Heavyweights up to 200, or perhaps even 210 or 220, might make sense. Athletes are a lot bigger nowadays, what with weight training, fancy diets, and "special vitamins".
Here's my thinking: Start Heavyweight at 220, to reflect modern reality. Make Cruiserweight a 30 pound division (191-220), Lt Heavy a 20 pound division (171-190), and then 10 pound divisions below that, unitl you get down to the little guys, who might have 5 pound divisions, like this:
Heavyweight: 220 lb and up
Cruiserweight 191-220 lbs
Lt Heavyweight 171-190 lbs
Middleweight 161-170 lbs
Junior Middleweight 151-160 lbs
Welterweight 141-150 lbs
Lightweight 131-140 lbs
Junior Lightweight: 126-130 lbs
Featherweight 121-125 lbs
Junior Featherweight 116-120 lbs
Bantamweight 111-115 pounds
Junior Bantamweight 106-110 lbs
Flyweight 101-105 lbs
Or something like that. The current weight classes have the following problems, as I see it:
1. The Heavyweight minimum is too low - it's no longer realistic for a 205 pound fighter to compete against typical heavyweights (Roy Jones excepted)
2. Too many, and too confusing, heavier weight classes. Giving each class a limit that ends in "0" would improve things (190, 170, 160, 150, 140, 130). At the lighter weight classes, I have less of a problem with a few extra divisions. Heck, the only time those guys make enough money to eat is when they fight for a title, anyway.
