Sure today we have a super heavy weight crop of heavies,but the dedication, skill ans will seems to have vanished. size does not equal talent or skill level at all and makes you wonder if most are only at heavyweight due to laziness

Seeing videos of old fights from the HW division, a lot weren't all that either, just fancy names with the right color/flag.

It's a cop out when you just make a statement like that without backing it up!

You're right, Larry. The lack of skill in the heavyweight division these days is obvious and sad to see.
Maybe Anthony Joshua can change that if he keeps developing. But I probably shouldn't mention him, he has the wrong color as far as Fantastic One is concerned.

most didn't start boxing at an early age
a lot are bodybuilder built rather than boxer muscular and some are fat
all don't fight enough
maybe sparring/sparring partners are not the same quality as lower weight classes?

The lack of skill in the heavyweight division compared to even 10 years ago is shocking. Compared to 20 years ago? It's hard to believe it's the same sport sometimes. Hard to believe how far the HW division has fallen.
I hope we at least get a worthwhile successor to Wlad and Vitali, and don't have to suffer through a bunch of Arreolas and Povetkins switching belts around every year.
