Is the HW Division a Joke?

[.Mik.]

I already said it was an accident. I would never put my name on a list next to yours. That's just embarrassing.

This is the worst division ever no doubt.

It wasnt an accident. Merely a side-affect of being an idiot.

[drvooh]

are you ****ing kidding me dude? brewster is absolute garbage. he has no defense, no footwork, he's not exactly special. in my opinion he is a journeyman in any other era and only a champ in this one, nothing more.

He's got that punchers chance..though very distance. Peter?? Ha, I can see him puonding alot of guys in the 60s' and 70s'....

So you believe that anyone who thinks this is one of the best eras in HW boxing is an idiot?

[drvooh]

Just watch his fights against Golota or Krasnique

Good pernt there, Brooklynbomber, I forgot those two..of course the sixties/70s' had no untalents at all, did they? whooops...let's not forget the highly skilled Tex Cobb, who would walk thru the HWts of today..yeah, right...

No, I think that you've misinterpreted what I am talking about. Perhaps that is the side-effect of being an idiot too.

I was saying that DiegoFuego's 'accident' was more a result of an idiot doing something idiotic and as such was utterly expected.

I grew up in the late 60's and early 70's, the "Golden Era" of heavyweight boxing, and watched most of those legendary fights on ABC's Wide World of Sports, and let me tell you something.....they said the same thing then, only the "Golden Era" they were talking about back then was back in the 30's, 40's, and 50's, and even the early 60's. In fact, I can't remember a time when people weren't bitching about the heavyweight division. They were saying the same **** back when Tyson was marching through the heavyweights, and then unified...."He wouldn't be able to do this back in the day, he'd be KO'd by (insert legendary heavyweight here) in the first minute of the fight".

Well, I thought it sounded silly then, and do now, too. In fact, this may be one of the least "****ty" divisions I remember. It's not the best, but certainly not what everyone is claiming. I think that, on any given day, there are at least a dozen fighters who could beat any one of the other dozen at the toss of a coin. The only one who's probably not going to get beaten any time soon is Wlad Klitchko (or his brother...I really don't think there's anyone alive who can KO that guy, and you can't beat him any other way), and there's almost always been a single ruling power in the divion. Foreman, Ali, Tyson, Lewis, etc.

The only thing that bothers me about the heayweight division is the lack of activity. Other than that, I like it just fine. Not as good as some of been, maybe, but not bad at all.

Great post !!

The heavyweight scene in the 80's was alot worse than it is at the moment.

Because Tyson was OWNING ****ers and taking names.

[Easy-E]

You intolerant, arrogant little *****, I'm just as entitled to my opinions as you are. Who are you to tell me to stop posting? Just because the heavyweights are not black and American like you, you say they're a joke - that's shows how ******, ignorant and prejudiced you are.

Im intolerent of your stupudity, this is true.
Your opinions are ignorant, and ground in bias.
Ill tell you whatever I want to tell you.
I dont care where a fighter comes from or what his skin color is.
That doesnt matter to me.
The truth is that this HW era is terrible.
Wlad is the best fighter in the division, and claims he wants to unfiy, and then fights guys like Brewster and Ray Austin.
Imbragamov, Chagaev and Maskaev will not be champions for much longer because there not that good.

Bottom line is that you said this was one of the BEST HW boxing era's in history!
That is easily the most deluded opinion ive ever encountered.
Get a clue.

Oh, and who said I was black?

[drvooh]

I still dont understand how the 4 ppl can honestly say its one of the best era's in boxing. Is it cause most of the Champs are white? Serious question too. I mean there isnt 1 dominate champion.And especially 1 thats really exciting to watch. Although Wlad is starting to look alittle like Lennox though.

I agree, Wlad is looking more like Lewis, but Wlads' nose is bigger....

Lets remember Liston, Patterson, Chuvalo, Ali, Fraizer, Foreman, Quarry and others, all who are far superior to anyone in the HW division currently.
