What are your thoughts on Chakhiev? I find him to be very exciting and hope to see more of him. It would be nice if he fought a couple times a month or at least once per month.
He still has some learning to do, and while Jolly is a journeyman, he does have a very good jab and I noticed that Chakhiev struggled with it just a tad.
I do think that with some polishing he can run the division and bring some excitement to it.
I like how every punch he throws is devastating.
That's because the division IS in bad shape in the USA - there are only a few decent prospects like Wilder, and no outstanding ones.
But even in the UK there are now some very good up-and-comers like Price, Dallas and Chisora.
And in mainland Europe there are some very talented ones like Glazkov and Boytsov.
hmmm, I guess we just have different tastes in what is entertaining in a heavyweight fighter. I like guys in my sig, and the guys you listed above just don't fit that criteria.
I would never pay a dime to watch any of the guys you listed above.
Chakhkiev is a cruiserweight.
He will do very well in that division.
The heavyweight division is alive and well with talented young fighters like Helenius, Boytsov, Pala, Pulev, Glazkov, etc.
I understand that you as an individual may believe what you have bolded above is true, but as for me and most other fans and just about every analyst will tell you, the division is in the dumps. I love boxing yet I can not bring myself to watch any current heavyweights and historically that is my favorite division.

I thought he was fighting at heavyweight now.
