Revival of HW Boxing

rahman KO6 wlad.... this is going to be highlight reel stuff.. I will remember this. If they ever sign to fight each other, would you care to bet?

Wlad TKO4 Rahman. rahman KO6 wlad.... this is going to be highlight reel stuff..

ye me too, the winner of that fight is the reall heavyweight champ... Wlad TKO4 Rahman.

There are no great fighters in the division currently but a lot of good fighters and they all seem willing to fight one another.With Ibrayimov-Brock coming up and the possibility of a Klitschko-Rahman fight happening in the future the division is doing well.

if JD chapman ever wins a portion of the heavyweight title ill shave my ass and glue the hair to my face. ...I will agree to do the same thing but since my ass hairs are so sparse and reside only in the crack in very small amounts, it will be a very poor shaggy impersonation if he somehow found a way.

Povetkin is the most impressive in terms of style and natural talent. If he's brought along properly he will hold a belt some day, maybe more than 1. Sultan Ibragimov has good skills too. We'll see if he can handle the really big punchers in the division in the future, such as Sam Peter. Boytsov is very young, and if he's brought along correctly he could be a major factor for many years. Chapman is young and very big. I haven't seen him in action yet but his record looks very good for a guy in his early 20s. if JD chapman ever wins a portion of the heavyweight title ill shave my ass and glue the hair to my face.

ye the division is getting better, we are getting better fights and the new talent is also helping it a lot, we got to see great fight like Klitschko-Peter, Brewster-Lyohovich, Klitschko-Byrd, we get to see to unbeaten prospects go for it in june when Timur Ibragimov faces Calvin Brock, we are getting great fights right now...

i dont see heavyweight boxing ever reaching what it used to be. BUt in 5-7 years i see it getting damn close. Like right now, i cant stand watching Heavy weight fights unless its someone i have heard of. Not true for any other weight class.

I definently think it's going to get interesting to see how the picture unfolds. I'm looking foward to hopefully seeing Rahman/Wlad. ye me too, the winner of that fight is the reall heavyweight champ...

Yeah the next few years should be interesting even if a legend is not made.Very good,close copetetive fights have been and should keep happening. :boxing:

Bring Back Ali, Foreman, Quarry, Bonavena, Mathis, Norton, Young, The Man Himself Smoking Joe Frazier, Holmes, Leroy Boone, Shavers, Lyle And All Them And Then Got Something.

I think we are on a verge of a new golden age in boxing. An extremely good pool of talent is coming up from all over the world. It is going to be great. I definently think it's going to get interesting to see how the picture unfolds. I'm looking foward to hopefully seeing Rahman/Wlad.

Absolutely true. I have both a healthy respect for the great fighters from the past and the depth of talent in the fight game today. There may not be 1 great star fighter in the heavyweight division at the moment but there are a number of good ones. I've seen a few up and coming heavyweight fighters that look really good to me. Some of the most promising ones are Povetkin, Sultan Ibragimov and Denis Boytsov from the former Soviet Union, Roman Greenburg from Israel, and John Chapman and Chazz Witherspoon from the USA. Povetkin is the most impressive in terms of style and natural talent. If he's brought along properly he will hold a belt some day, maybe more than 1. Sultan Ibragimov has good skills too.

I haven't seen him in action yet but his record looks very good for a guy in his early 20s. Chazz Witherspoon has the genetics to go places, being the son of "Terrible" Tim Witherspoon. I haven't seen him in action either but I'm looking forward to it. Greenburg could be a factor very soon. He's only 23, has a good record and has beaten some respectable journeymen. UM NO!!! HE IS HIS COUSIN NOT HIS SON

I think it will take a while before the divison is revived but go figure that they would rather get paid to sit at home when they are injured in the nfl rather than get the crap beat out of them and then get sick and die a t home because they got punched one to many times in the head

Well I think the NFL should go under so that we can see some good athletes in boxing

in the next 5 years? less or more? btw throw some names out there.
