Worst Heavyweight Division??

[BrooklynBomber]

Nope and if any of you did any sort of a research instead of crying bull****, it would have been even better.

I'd like to see if Haye can do anything at heavyweight.

haye will clean the heavyweight division up once he unifies the cruiserweight divisions.

I'd like to see if Haye can do anything at heavyweight.

Naturally, since both he and yourself are British. People's thinking on how good the heavyweight division is tends to be subjective. If you ask a Russian, he'll likely say it's never been better. If you as a Uzbek, he might say he just started liking it. If you ask an American, many will say it's never been worse. If you ask a Brit, he'll say it has ****** since Lewis retired, but "I'd like to see what Haye can do at heavyweight".

The heavyweight division is fun to watch as long as you have someone good to cheer for. There never has been a really good heavyweight from Canada, so I got used to rooting for foreigners like George Foreman years ago (at least 50 current heavyweights could easily beat Chuvalo, I know, I went to some of his fights years ago, he had an amazing chin but otherwise he was mediocre).

From an unbiased, objective perspective, I say there's more top notch heavyweights now than ever before. There's still lots of good American heavyweights like Brock and Brewster, but what people in America and Britain fail to accept is that the quality of fighters in Russia and other East European and Central Asian countries has surpassed those in the West. I know that's a tough pill for some people to swallow.

I never was a Lewis fan, to me Holyfield was better thats the Heavyweight I liked most after Tyson went to jail.

[Super Cartel]

Im with that Porlie..
I was a tyson fan myself and a holyfield fan way before i became a Lennox lewis fan..
His style of fighting just wasnt for me...

[porlie]

Same here mate the only time I was really impressed by him was when he destroyed Ruddock but after that he changed to a boring style, Holyfield gave it his all every fight.

You guys need a new fighter like Holyfield to come up the ranks in Britain or the US, so you'll be able to enjoy the heavyweight division. Have faith, it's just a matter of time.

I already have that exciting future champ to root for in Alexander Povetkin, who had the best amateur record at super heavyweight of all time, 12 gold and one silver medal in thirteen international tournaments, including the 2004 Summer Olympics...watch his videos on YouTube, and you'll see why I'm excited about this fighter. And Denis Boystov reminds me of the young Mike Tyson.

Cheers mate I'll get on that now, I do have faith theres always someone up and coming just I cant see them yet.
Holyfield to me personified everything that a champ should be, he had wars,ducked no one and was dignified.

Simply put, none of these champs would even be considered contenders in most other eras. It's that bad.
