    Why is it that after LENNOX LEWIS RETIRED heavyweight boxing has gone into decline?

    Yet there's huge excitement surrounding David Haye?

    Could it be because the CURRENT HEAVYWEIGHTS are not exciting enough or charismatic enough? I think so.

    WAR HAYE

    Lets hope he can rescue boxing from its current drought/decline and restore the sport for the lower weight classes too.

    Most HW fights ain't that excitin. Sure it would help if there was an UD champ that fans could all identify, but it shouldn't matter as long as the fights are good. You'd think there'd always be big KO's in HW fights but it don't happen enuf to excite people. Haye's presence at HW will help but I don't see him beatin either of the K bros.

        So we all agree that we should support Haye the K Slayer on his crusade against the HW division?

          What I don't get was that he wasn't that exciting anyway. He had some good fights here and there, but he wasn't overly exciting.

              Lewis STOLE THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION!

              It's the only explanation that makes sense. That's why he looks so chunky now. He stole the heavyweight division.
