Which of these choices could/would bring back the HW division back into the spotlight...as well as someone you would want to see and represent the sport.
ALL FIGHTERS ARE IN THEIR PRIME/PEAK
Example: Tyson with Rooney...maxed out at Spinks; Ali, prior to being forced out...think Williams fight
The Klit brothers represent whoever is on the scene now...which includes Haye.
Iron Mike of course. Hit the streets and ask some random person what they remember about old school Heavyweight boxing. Their answer - Mike Tyson. Ask them about Heavyweight boxing today and their like, ughh I don't know.
Yeah.
Prime Vitali and prime Lewis basically own everyone. Anyone without bias know this.
Late Wlad who's not declining would also.. he has a dirty style, but it's really effective regardless.
yep we probably saw the best 2 boxers ever in there at lewis vs vitali... not best pound for pound just the 2 guys who would beat up and physically shut down everyone else
most of those guys would just be too small to compete... i mean come on what would jack johnson do against modern hws? even cws and lhws...
it would be cool to see a prime healthy vitali around

bring back the super heavy weight class and you will help the issue a lot. Who wants to see a 7 foot 300 plus man fight a 6'2 220 lns HW?
I do. Considering Vitali lost to Byrd, Wlad lost to fighters smaller than him in Brewster as well as Sanders...and Valuev is no longer undefeated, I would say your case is mute. People love supporting the “little guy.” Dempsey used to beat the crap out of big lumbering Tall Heavyweights that outweighed him by a ton. Tyson tended to be smaller than his opponent, particularly in height. Holyfield was smaller than Bowe and boy did that make for a great fight.
I suppose if Wlad bites off Rahman's ear and then goes out and rapes a woman, like Tyson did, the media will pay more attention to him, and he and his division will become popular.
This shows how sick our society really is.
Wow, you don't pay attention do you?
Tyson at his peak, which was with his Catskill Team: Cayton, Jacobs, and Rooney. Tyson was HUGE around the World in his early 20's. He was even big in America before he won the title. He was actually loved and supported by many. He did commercials and represented companies.
It was when he left the Catskill Team and got with King things went down hill and in a different direction. Although some would point out his marrying Robin was a bad move and screwed things up. He was kind of messed up around the Spinks fight which he even pointed out.
The heavy weight division is NEVER going to be back the way it was. No limit on size = heavy slow, under stamina fighting.
Maybe lowering the round count to 4 might make it more interesting lol.

I was never that big a fan of Tyson, but he was a fantastic fighter and very exciting. He had the tools to dominate this horrible heavyweight era. He would give the recognition back as well.

Are you kidding me? Ali is a no brainer here!
PS. It takes more than one fighter to bring a division back. Having a great fighter at the top is fine but you need talent below that too.

That's a good point. If you only have one fighter who's any good it just highlights how weak a division can be. Wlad vs. anyone else is a good example.

For the Klits, they are cool as people, but for some reason they are not making a big enough impact.
Most people think they are boring, that's why. What is there to promote?
People remember Tyson because of the drama he brought to boxing, in and out of the ring, and he was exciting to watch.
