Two weekends ago - we saw another routine win for one of the Klitschko brothers in a heavyweight division stagnating quicker than Geoff Hoon’s career.

Wladimir’s 12th round knockout of Eddie Chambers in Germany was watched at a stadium venue by more than 50,000 people.  This is the second week running that boxing has attracted huge live audiences, but it was no more than an exhibition.  In fact until trainer Manny Steward goaded him and said “you do not need another f****** decision” did he move out of safety first mode and stop Chambers. 

And don’t expect big brother Vitali’s clash with Albert Sonowski – one of the least deserving world title challengers of all time – to be any better.

Until Wladimir and Vitali fight each other, then the heavyweight division will continue to mark time because I don’t believe the general public know which brother is which!

It’s rare for a division to have a unified champion these days, but most of the time the best two boxers at a weigh get it on.

But at heavyweight, the Klitschko brothers – perfectly understandably - don’t want to trade blows, so we’re in a stalemate.

They could face a legitimate contender or two though, with David Haye and Nikolay Valuev the most obvious choices.  Yet those contests seem no nearer to happening.

Wladimir’s fight on Saturday wasn’t even shown on US television.

Can you imagine a heavyweight world title fight back in the 1980s and 1990s not being shown in the States?

Yet it is becoming increasingly hard to get fights on HBO or Showtime, with David Haye’s clash against John Ruiz next weekend also facing a US blackout.

Talking of Haye, it looks like the Sauerland – the German promotional company that has options over him – will force him to face Valuev in a rematch unless they get a contract extension.

Although it bagged him the world title, we don’t want a repeat performance.

At the moment, the search is on for a young heavyweight to challenge the Kiltschkos’ dominance, although at the age of just 33, Wladimir is going to be around for a while.

Wily old fox Bob Arum believes he has found one in 29-year-old Cuban, Odlanier Solis, who won again at the weekend, his 16th straight victory.

My two prospects, Sam Sexton and Derek Chisora, are a lot younger, but if they keep on winning they’ve got as good a chance as anyone of getting a shot!

Manny Pacquiao’s world title defence against Joshua Clottey sold just under 800,000 PPV buys in the States, underlining why he is the best paid boxer in the world right now.

Of course, all the talk in boxing is about Pacquiao taking on Floyd Mayweather, but if that doesn’t come off he’s got three opponents lined up.

Edwin Valero, Antonio Margarito and Juan Manuel Marquez are the names in the frame, and each one has marquee status – but with flaws.

KO specialist Valero has a medical condition and can only box in certain US states, Margarito is just coming off a ban for fighting with loaded gloves, and former P4P great Marquez may not be the same fighter.

Marquez, who lost to Pacquiao on a split decision and has also drawn with him, may be the one to get the shot.

My condolences to the family of Harry Carpenter, after the legendary commentator – famous for his double act with Frank Bruno – passed away this week.

Harry’s death quickly follows that of Reg Gutteridge, another great commentator.

I only ever had two shows on the BBC – including Clinton McKenzie against Steve Early, the first title fight I promoted  - so didn’t work with Harry much.

But you only had to listen to him to realise what a great professional he was.

It was a great shame that Harry didn’t get to commentate on Bruno’s fight against Oliver McCall, when he finally won a world title on my promotion.

Boxing fans should try and catch Sons of Cuba, a compelling documentary about young boxers in one of the last bastions of communism.

The fighters may still only be schoolboys, but they have to live, eat and breathe boxing from a very young age under a very strict regime.

Like many former communist states, Cuba believes that success in the sporting arena is a way of legitimising its regime.

Whether or not you agree with the training methods and I don’t, you can’t argue with the fact Cuba produces generation after generation of talent.

The Caribbean country is looking to dominate at the 2012 Olympics after a not successful Beijing.

Fighters should see the movie and see the sacrifices these kids indoctrination puts them through.  They will never moan again.

Mike Tyson’s reality TV show about pigeon racing has caught the attention of animal rights charity PETA, which says the Animal Planet show is cruel.

PETA activists are famous for throwing paint at stars of the fashion world who wear fur.

But I don’t see any of them giving him a coating.

James DeGale fights for his first title on May 15 at West Ham’s Upton Park. I believe it will be the first of many – DeGale can become the first British gold medallist to go all the way as a pro and win a world title.
