No announcement yet.
The Klitschko's retiring anytime soon would be DREADFUL for heavyweight boxing

But there were some great moments, and its not unlikely we'll end up with another Louis-type fighter after a while. At least these guys r a more realistic height

It'd be interesting to hear the reason for people's picks too.
I went for price because at 6'8 245, he's got the size he is also an athlete and a capable boxer with good movement and handspeed as well as very solid power.
In a way he's almost like a mixture of the klitschko brothers, with a few assets from each.

Heavyweights are the best fighters h2h.
The heavyweight division will always be the blue riband division.
Not welterweight or light middleweight or 151.5lb catchweight for the wbc diamond belt m
I'm talking about the heavyweight championship of the world

Boxing history tends to snip out the parts they don't like so it looks like there's a lineage when in fact they just piece together the parts that suit them. Also, the great way to hype a new champ is by having him clobber one of the older guys in the name of "succession." Nobody wants to talk about the Gerry Coatze's of the world. That's boxing history in a nut shell, just skip the ones you don't like.
I just want the next champs to get their shine because I do think there are some evenly matched action fights once ppl start to mix it up.
