    Can the heavyweight division be great again

    Can it, who is there that can make this division great once more.
    You need at least 3 great fighters and alot of good ones and I just don't see who there is at the moment that can truly be great and have the chance to prove it against another great.

    Has the division died for good.

    Wlad is a great talented fighter and he is gonna unify on Feb.23 when he KO's Sultan Ibragimov.

    There is plenty of heavyweight talent and promising propects fighting out of Eastern Europe, you need to open your eyes and wake up.

      Get out of bed the wrong side did we or is it time of the month or something.

      He might well be talented and the best out there, but beating those other chumps isn't a recipe for greatness.
      Until he can beat other great fighters then he is not great.
      Also 1 talented fighter doesn't make the division great.

        Sultan was supposed to be one of the next big things out of eastern europe and frankly none of us have been extremely impressed. so many eastern europeans have a rather robotic style and way of fighting when it comes to the heavyweights, there is only one exceptional fighter and thats wlad, everyone else is in one big gaggle of mediocrity until something impressive comes along. Because youre eastern european you want us to think otherwise, but im sorry, i just havent seen it yet.

          Vitali Klitschko(another great fighter) is making a comeback, Povetkin is another very promising undefeated heavyweight that will make a splash in the division. Ruslan Chagaev is a tough mofo and he is very underrated, he would get beat by Wlad though. Look out for Denis Boytsov, he is a tough 21 year old prospect and he reminds me of Tyson.

          Eastern Europe is a heavyweight factory and the talent and prospects will keep on comng for the rest of existence, get used to it.

            wlad is a very good fighter but we all know he is a strong breeze away from losing the title, which would take the division to a new low

              Keep dreaming. Vitali was good but not great and in his prime couldn't beat an over the hill and out of shape Lewis and while he gave him a good fight Lewis was busting him up big time and Vitali was spent.
              All the others are unproven or just prospects even Wlad is unproven.

              Lewis in his prime would have knocked them over one after the other.

                The HW division is in great shape. Wlad is in form to match any HW ever. Chagaev would beat most past champions. Then there's guys coming along like Povetkin, Virchis, and eventually Boytsov. It's one of the best divisions in boxing right now.

                  You're wrong, the new improved Wladimir Klitschko under Manny Steward is pretty much unstoppable right now, Wlad has the potential to be one of the all time greats, he can do it.
