The American Heavyweight Scene

is the worst I have ever seen it. I remember watching the fat lazy era of the 80's with Dokes,Tubbs,Witherspoon,Page etc. At the time they were called the worst the division had ever seen but it has slumped to new lows. As Steve Bunce commented on Setanta last night the current crop are gutless wonders. They might have been fat and a little lazy but the aformentioned fighters all had talent. I couldn't help feel dissapointed by the state of the division at the moment. Wlad is a nice guy but is only champion in a terrible division right now. Thompson seemed to just give up and want out last night, when I felt if he had put in a concerted effort he might have been able to unsettle Wlad. I bet americans long for the likes of a Witherspoon or a Dokes to come along, let alone a Tyson or Holyfield.
