    You people who say this evidently have watched Ali-Frazier, but nothing more.

    Today's fight was between two guys ranked between 10 and 20. If you watch guys from the 70s with those rankings, you'll see they were no better.

    Ali alone defended against about ten guys who were no better than those two.

        I have watched every great, good fight between every good to great fighter available to watch at Heavyweight. I have seen Ali-Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Shaver, Cooper, foster, Patterson, Chuvalo. I have seen Dempsey fight Willard (the old footage) and the long count. I have seen Louis fight Schmeling and his notable fights, i have seen Tyson, Holmes, Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe and read about Johnson etc. I know what i'm talking about. It's a piss poor era.

          Wladimir has been knocked out by three complete bums, so don't even pretend he bumps this era up at all. If anything, having him as "the man" brings it down

            You don't know what you're talking about as much as you think.

            None of Ali's opponents in the 60s were significantly better than these guys; some were worse. None of his opponents after Foreman were nearly as good.

            None of the guys Tsyon beat before Spinks could win a belt today.

            It's easy to look at twelve fights over forty years and then compare them all favorably to a Saturday stream between two fringe contenders. That's all you're doing.

            And again, no you don't know your ****.

              **** the HW division. There's enough excitement elsewhere that this shouldn't even bother people anymore.

                Even if the Division was just EXCITING, i would be satisfied. But its both painfully boring and even more painfully untalented.

                Cruiserweights are still a lot of fun though

                  Cruiserweight is the weakest division in boxing

                  The best cruiserweight is Adamek and he got schooled by Chad Dawson at light heavyweight....That same Dawson got beat up by 40 year old Glen Johnson.

                  Heavyweight >>> Cruiserweight

                    I don't mind the heavies, I really like Chagaev and now David Haye is on the scene. Wlad is a pretty dominant champ. You have the freak factor of Valuev. The only champ I'm not intrigued by is Sam Peter because he is not very good, crude and slow and talentless. I'm pretty sure Danny Williams could beat him in all seriousness.
