Heavyweight division now most packed division?

croz12y ago

Before you get your knee jerk reaction in please try think of one division with as many interesting match ups possible. Aside from taking Jr Middleweight all the way up to LHW I don't think there's one single division around with as many names as the HW division. You would have to merge numerous divisions to get as many names as there are in the HW division right now. There are now prospects and just names who can be used to make interesting match ups. Wlad Haye Tyson Fury Anthony Joshua Glazkov Charles Martin Pulev Edmund Gerber Joseph Parker Povetkin Chisora Oleksandr Usyk Bogdan Dinu Szpilka Ruslan Deontay Wilder Didier Bence Adamek Cunningham Mike Perez Scot Helenius Zhang Bryant Jennings Hughie Fury Boystov Arreola Wach In terms of interesting match ups I think the HW division is running away with it right now.

Fury and Jennings are more experienced than Wilder. Joshua and Parker are the two hottest prospects. Parker beat Botha in one of his first fights. It takes a lot to beat a former champ so easily. http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02690/Anthony-Joshua3_2690902b.jpg http://cdn.3news.co.nz/3news/AM/2013/6/13/301382/Joseph_Parker_Francois_Botha-1200.jpg Fury and Jennings do not possess atomic power in either fist. Once hit and it doesn't even have to land flush, they will get crushed. Joshua is muscle bound and stiff - Price V1.1, he gets swept aside with ease. How can you take anyone serious after they done fighting Santa Claus?

You can cross Cunningham off the list, after he gets knocked out by Amir "hardcore" Mansour :D

You named quite a few bums & average prospects... Bence? Gerber? Zhang? Boytsov? Cunningham? Come on... Zhang hasn't even fought yet

Flyweight is stacked. Everyone is moving on up....shoot, like 80 percent of the top 20 fighters have either won or have won a title

Think of the quality of opponents and the possibility. Can you imagine a "Super Six" in WW vs "Super Six" in HW? Not even close.

I don't know about Stacked You have the champ, Wlad Then you have a future ATG Wilder and then it's a huge drop off. Either Wlad retires or gets ko'd by wilder, then Wilder is going to take over and rule for like 10 years. I don't see anyone on the horizon who can handle what Deontay is bringing to the table Fury and Jennings are more experienced than Wilder. Joshua and Parker are the two hottest prospects. Parker beat Botha in one of his first fights.

Bunch of overweight and out of shape bums. Somehow Wilder changed of that.
