I know its become a cliche to say that the heavyweight divsion is on life support at the moment there is so little interest from the general public . While i agree that is true in america . What about eastern europe where the heavyweights such as povetkin and klitschko are as populat there as ali and tyson ever were . People always say boxing has become a minortity sport but was it ever a major sport anywhere else other than the usa.

These Klitschkos and Povetkins are not as popular as Ali or Tyson were, not even close, not in germany, not even in their home countries i guess.

Ok, people says Heavyweights are the worse weighclass now a day. But to be honest i always prefer lower weighclasses. Look, the 70's were great for heawyweights, but lowerweight clases were always more exiting to watch

The heavyweight division is fine. As most of you know, I am an Eastern European and I have never been happier about the state of the division, the heavyweight division is still very popular on an international scale.

Some Americans hate on the division because most of their heavyweights suck ass, they make bull**** excuses like how all the champs are in football, LOL. The bigger Americans have gone soft from living in a country where you're spoon fed and you can get anything you want. The determination and hunger from the American heavyweights is disappearing fast, Eastern Europeans are gonna be on top and dominating for a very,very,very long time and you haters are gonna just have to get used to it.

If these Eastern European heavyweights were white Americans, the heavyweight division would be the most popular division in boxing and the UFC wouldn't be as successful.

The heavyweights are pretty much dead here in the states, but in Germany and the Ex Soviet Union they are having a Golden Age.
