Today’s Heavyweights are trash

So, taking away the total fanboyism... you prefer the guy you're a big fan of. How very unbiased of you It aint about me champ. It"s about The Mighty Oilskin Parker. Do try to be objective...heh

Jalolov is coming for this belts after Usyk and Fury both retire in next 2 years. I would pick jalolov to beat guys like Kabayel, Wilder, Anderson even now.

Taking away the total fanboyism. I really like Parker's style under Lee and Lockhart. He and Usyk are a boxer's boxer. I'd love to see the chess match as they try to figure out how to best employ their game plan and adjust on the fly when it gets negated by the other. Most other heavies are fairly one dimensional, apart from Fury. He's in a one man herky-jerky bizarro alternate dimension all by himself.

It's pretty obvious, isn't it? There isn't a decent Heavyweight that's hot shít right now in the States. There might be a few coming up, but will they actually stay in the sport and rise to the occasion to get to the elitist level? All the guys are going to the NBA, NFL, and other sports. They rather not get hit for a living and be doing other sports that are more common practice. Many reasons why the lower weight classes have been taking over, like Mayweather's era.. he dominated it in sales and PPV. 80's era, 90's, Ali era in 60's and 70's, Heavyweight was on fire back then, the good old days.

The American heavyweights have been trash since the 1990s, outside of the US there are some phenomenal talents who would do very well in any era. Klitschkos, Lewis, Fury, Usyk, AJ, these can stand with any of the ATG's and come away with some wins Even guys like Povetkin, Parker and David Haye would do just fine in the 90s and be solid contenders. In the 90s you had a 45 year old George foreman who could barely move as a heavyweight champion, and in the 80s it was crack heads, LITERALLY. What you don't think Povetkin or Parker would have any chance against old man Foreman? Come on. The US fans need to take their nostalgia goggles off, you lot have been crying and bleating about the heavyweight division since I started reading this board in 2008, thats SIXTEEN YEARS OF COMPLAINING. The times you were running heavyweight boxing were no better than nowadays. Sorry my man I don’t care where a fighter is from or what he looks like, I only care about watching skilled fighters in the ring Todays heavyweights are just big, and far from skilled They don’t pass the eye test I don’t compare fighters from different eras because that is pointless But I know I enjoyed watching heavyweight boxing in the past Now I watch mostly the highlights on YouTube because I can’t sit through a live heavyweight fight nowadays

Every generation has looked back with fond nostalgia on previous generations and called the current generation trash. Bit of a pointless argument to have though since you'd need a time machine to resolve it objectively.

Yes, they are Fury is a fraud, Wilder and Joshua are overrated hypejobs, Usyk's very talented but too frail for HW The rest aren't even worth mentioning The Klitschkos were the last truly GREAT heavyweights Excluding the Greco-Roman wrestler Wlad.

I think the problem now is the lack of activity and the aim of the highest profit with the lowest risk, not their skills.

The 80s HWs were legit very good.
