anyone else notice the hate on heavyweights?

HW's these days look for the 1 punch KO. At least most of them are starting to come in some what decent shape. It seemed like for a while they were coming in all fat and outta' shape. Even Lewis was fat coming into the Klit fight. Corey Sanders was fat when he got beat by Vitali. Tony is still coming into fights overweight. To me HW's are for the most part boring. I like the 140 to 190 range. Lighter weights seem to have more skill with some KO power and definitely have more stamina. I hate a hug fest.

hw today sucks, slow boring and champions dont fight each other.

This is most definatly the lowest point in the division's histroy. It's a crap shoot in title fights, and when Maskaev, Barrett, McBride and Briggs are all getting title shots withing months of eachother, it speaks louder than anything else about how shitty things are. Every 6 months for years I keep thinking it can't get any wrose, and then it does. It's years away from being shaken up. :( Couldn't have said it better. The HW division is ripe for any up and comer with some skill & class to dominate for a long time.Unfortunately I'm not sure one is on the horizon at the moment.The lower divisions are propping up the sport.

i think if the heavyw8 division does get better its going to be in 5+ years not anytime soon :(

Yea but I'm saying even the one's that go the distance aren't too exciting because the guys are slow and very tired and are throwing little punches. Those to me are boring. But that's just my opinion. OK so you're saying that you'd rather see 10 shots cause a KO than see four shots...point well taken.

Man HW fights suck. Slow, not exciting, and almost always ends in KO in the early rounds. I'm not saying it's the sorriest thing to watch, but it's way more exciting and entertaining to watch two equally matched Welterweights of Lightweight go at it for 12 grueling and brutal rounds. I like to watch wars, not one hit kills. heavyweight fights don't always end in ko in early rounds. and it's not thier fault they hit so hard. and last time i checked, one heavyweight fight this year was so exciting, it was up for foty, and it went the distance. as a matter of fact, a lot of heavyweight fights go the distance. i think you are thinking of tyson, or tua, who end matches quickly. either which way, i like watching heavyweights usually over anything else. even in the state they are in now.

I want John Ruiz back :cool:

The heavyweight division sucks man. The best heavyweight has a hard time taking a flush punch on the jaw, and it makes for a boring affair no matter what title is at stake. Forget the "exiciting" and "boring" fights. There's no soap opera. It's like watching the tallest possible mountain made of popsickle sticks defend against a swarm of ants.
