The Heavyweight Division... The Closest Thing We Have to a Real Sport

We have Wlad (who I like), who had a very mediocre title reign by most people's standards because he was in the weakest HW era ever.
He finally gets beaten by Tyson Fury when he's 40 in one of the most boring HW matches ever.
Fury proceeds to talk **** about everyone else as if he just beat Ali in his prime, not a man a dozen years older than him.
We have Wilder, who's a joke in most people's eyes... who's may finally get some "respect" by fighting 37 year old Povetkin, who was already beaten by Wlad.
Then hot on their tails we Anthony Joshua (who I also like), whose physique is much more impressive than his performances in the ring.
Followed by Luis Ortiz, an "up-and-coming" 36 year old who tested positive for PEDs a year ago.
And last but certainty not least, comes the IBF Heavyweight champ, the out-of-shape Prince , who won his title by stepping on his opponent's foot, then had the audacity to claim Glazkov twisted his knee because of his power.. even though his punch did not even graze his opponent. Seriously, how classless can you be?
Point is that maybe the HW division is better than most of the others, but it's still very unimpressive in my eyes.

Funny how a loss by Wlad makes people excited. All it shows me is that people were salty when he was on top. If he beats Fury on a rematch, watch how you dudes turn around and call it shit again.

Organizations enforcing their rules, fighters taking on mandatories, mandatories being quality top 10 contenders and wanting to unify on both ends. No barriers blocking the fights.

-Martin agreed to a voluntary against arguably the best contender he could have chosen, and on foreign soil
-Wilder has made clear that he wants the Povetkin fight and is willing to do so in Russia
-Ortiz destroyed Jennings and the WBA seems to have him in line for a title shot
-IBF ordered Parker/Takam, the winner of which would be a good opponent for the winner of Martin/Joshua
Overall the lineup of fights in this division for 2016 is pretty solid compared to those of other divisions. The people at the top of this division seem set on taking on fights fans would want them to take and on unifying the division. There is less friction / bull**** preventing desirable fights from taking place.
