Current Heavyweights - The Era With No Name

[FkDaHtrs]

Some people's posts are good reading on the crapper, yours are more the wiping variety. Much better opposition than Ezzard Charles? And before you give me the LHW routine, consider that Rocky only weighed 185 and was outweighed 5 pounds by Charles in the rematch. Rocky would fight as a LHW or maybe even a SMW today.

Ties to the mafia and the proof is he had his picture taken with them? You're a funny guy.

Hey ALT *****. Everyone knows you don't know **** about boxing. Log off!!!

Charles was 6'0" and grew into an average size heavyweight for his era. Maricano was shorter but much larger framed, still it doesn't matter since Charles more than proved himself a capable heavy. He was one of the busiest Champions in history while dominating Louis and peak Walcott not long after their famous 48 meeting; he also beat much bigger guys than Rocky like Layne and the 6'2" 200+ lb Wallace. His few loses were close and Walcott was the only guy that stopped him before Rocky, and he was winning almost every round before that. Charles is very underrated at heavy, though he of course fell apart after the brutal second Rocky fight.

Hey at all you Wlad-huggers i have to agree that Wladimir is the Nr.1 heavyweight and has beaten some of the best guys the heavyweights had to offer. Unification is always difficult but he unified against Ibragimov(Not Wlads bad that Ibragimov is such a poor champ) and has beaten Nr.1 contednders he had to fight like Thompson or Austin(again, not Wlads fault these guys are Nr.1 contenders). The next opponent will be Povetkin, a gold-medallist and one of the best opponent you can get in todays heavyweight division. I agree that the heavyweights are verry poor at the moment, Wlad is the only world-class heavyweight today but if you think he would be the favourite against prime Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe or even Mercer and Moorer you are delusional!! Peter is the second best guy and i hope he improves more, hes still verry young and could slim down a few pounds, i see potnetial in him he could still get much better than he is right now and hopefully he will improve cause hes in my oppinion the most entertaining heavyweight right now.

I hope at least Wladimir puts on a great performance against Thompson

Thanks for the nasty red K comment and this awesome, boxing knowledge filled post.

Yeah LHT, I agree, Marciano and Holmes usually end up lower than they should on peoples' lists because of their opposition. I would have liked to see Holmes unify at some point, fight guys like Dokes or Coetzee. He was a very talented boxer that had competitive fights well into his 40s with guys like Holyfield and McCall.

By Troy Ondrizek - As with everything in life whether it is a dynasty or a boxing division, the person or entity in charge at that time, has the period or era named after them. We have the Ming dynasty and the era of Ali for example. However, the current heavyweights have no champion and haven’t since Lennox Lewis. Yes, a fact disclosed by scribes more often then the Bush Administration mentioned that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. So why mention this again? Honestly, I’m tired of Wladimir Klitschko (the division’s number one contender) fighting fights that don’t matter.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Tony Thompson, he is a skilled smart fighter, but he isn’t a good enough fighter or ranked high enough to make this a real world title fight. Wladimir talks of being the best and being a great champion, and he isn’t the only one, but the heavyweights as a whole seem to want to be great but run when the chance arises. The heavyweight division is a walking contradiction. Thus we are at this point where the heavyweights have no name. [details]

Totally agree. I hate that too. The guy has been fighting a bunch of tailor made opponents for longer than i care to remember. What a ****ing joke.

[Allucard]

I never seen Klitschko is a competitive fight. Ever! Well, if you don't count the bums who managed to floor him and KTFO him.

Your the king of handing out red K and calling everyone racist that talks against white fighters. We'd be better off without morons like you who take this race **** too serious. Any race can have great boxers not just whites.
