It’s Time to Watch the Heavyweights: Mid-Year Look

[Kball15]

Right, I remember you don't like heavyweights because you're a little guy.

But since we already know how you feel about heavyweights, you don't have to make the same posts over and over again. It gets boring reading it for the 1000th time.

LOL! why would i not like heavyweights if i was small? Im not a "little guy" first of all, lol, and if i was little wouldnt i LOVE the big guys???

Like, wouldnt i suck up to the Heavyweights as compensation for my small stature? like a guy with a tiny penis buying a giant Hummer?

So Wouldn't i call Fields-Barrett and interesting heavyweight fight if i was a little guy?

By Joe Harrison - As most sports fans are aware, Floyd Mayweather Jr. recently announced his retirement from the sport of professional boxing. It is always unfortunate when any sport loses one of its biggest stars regardless of whether or not the decision was best for the athlete. This does not mean that boxing is in any danger. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us to focus more on boxing’s other stars. This is an opportunity for us to check out the heavyweight division, which is at its best since Lennox Lewis retired in 2003.

Today’s heavyweight scene is a little more dynamic. Not only do we have the dominance of the unified champion, IBF and WBO title-holder Wladimir Klitschko, but we also have the knockout power of the WBC champion, Samuel Peter. Then there are also those prospects who are now legitimate challengers such as Chris Arreola and Alexander Povetkin. With the addition of the undisputed cruiserweight champion, David Haye, things can get very interesting. [details]

Excellent article!

The division is getting better with young fighters like Haye, Povetkin and Arreola, and with Wlad being clearly the man to beat.

thats half a dozen and none of them are interesting. LOL at Fields-Barrett being on the list.

Witherspoon-Arreola could be decent i guess though

I think Valuev vs. Chagaev 2 is verry interesting, also Barrett vs. Fields.
In both fights im rooting for the smaller man though.

i'd rather watch skilled energetic and incredibly tenacious and tough little guys like darchinyan, mijares, arce, donaire, pacquiao , morales etc than fat slow and talentless ****s like wlad, valuev (hes the worst) , peter etc

Too bad Wlad has to do these mandatory fights this year. I wanna see him unify the belts already.
