Can the heavyweight division be great again

[Thread Stealer]

lewis was coming off over a year of inactivity, almost 38, and not in good shape.

and he still beat quitali.

but wlad probably would've beat THAT version of lewis. just not the inferior klitschko brother.

Limeys are really unbelievable when it comes to evaluating their own. I'm sorry to have to say this as I love Limeys athletes. But Lewis is barely a top 20 HW on any reasonable list, though Limeys want him in the top 5. The homer bias is really sick on that island.

top 20 i have to disagree with this lewis is top 10. You hate people saying haye has a chance against wlad but saying wlad is one of the great heavyweights and this is a great heavyweight division is just as ******.

the current division is clearly lacking in quality fighters. the east Europeans are good but clearly not great. I think the biggest problem with the division is not the fighters but the lack of exciting fights.

the division may be slow right now, but it will rise up again.. u can't say that the hw division will never be great again, that's a pretty definitive statement.. somewhere along the line the hw division will resurface

[Parody]

Wlad would'nt last with Lewis for more than 6 rounds.

yeah i am sure at some point there will be some more great heavyweights. there are some good fighters coming up although none look great at the moment but who knows.

could say the same for lewis. wlad would be the best 2 fisted puncher lewis had ever faced. its a lot more difficult when facing a guy with one punch power in either hand as opposed to just one. I could see either guy falling in this one

bruno had as much power as wlad as did tyson

bruno is slow. he didnt have the speed and accuracy of wlad. anyway,,,he was beating and hurting lewis until he gassed out and got nailed later in the fight and tyson was a 5'10 220 lbs rusty shell of the fighter he once was that couldnt even put a combo together in that fight

He still made more defenses than Tyson and he beat a dangerous Ruddock, destroyed Golota who'd given Bowe a lot of trouble, destroyed a big unbeaten dangerous Grant, played with Tua and basically wiped out everyone there was to beat, Wlad will never achieve half what Lewis did and a prime Lewis would beat both Klitchkos.
