Will the Klitsckos be the answer to the lackluster heavy division?

I dont think they are, Both have had times as heavyweight champs and they did'nt sparke new life into or unified the division.

Lewis and Tyson leaving the scene killed the whole DAMN division.

Actually Tyson did not leave the division. He was thrown out of it by a journeyman bum (Mcbride) and a motivated slugger at least at the time (Williams)

Same with Johnson, it wasn't Vitali's fault Johnson came in like crap.

Funny that you say that about Johnson. Yes he was heavy when he came into the ring but I do not think that played much of a role in the fight. If you watch the fight again you will notice that Johnson was bouncing on his feet and looked very active during the fight. It was not as though he was slumbering around the ring. He just got caught with a big bomb and that prematurely ended his evening.

Vitali Klitschko is definitely NOT exciting in the ring. I will agree that he is prone to slugging matches, but the outcome of those slugging matches is predictable. Why has he never called out David Tua or Sam Peter?

** You think Tua has been exciting? When's the guy gonna challenge a contender? It's been 5 yrs since he beat a contender. You must be easy to excite.

Peter was a raw prospect busy calling out the Toney in a fight he knew he could win. He thought Wlad had a glass jaw and called him out and got a boxing lesson he'll never forget, but you must have!

Anyway, Vitali is old history. If he does comeback, it's against a weak title like Maeskav's and then he retires again. Only the easily excitable get their shorts bunched up over Vitali!
