        Tua is still going and Ike is still out of boxing

        Truth be told u aint missed much (with the HWs)

        The one guy to get excited about is David Haye the former CW champ he can **** but is vulnerable himself, he MAY or MAY Not make HW Champ but either way he is the only one id pay to watch these days

          is tua likely to get another title shot?

          has he beaten any contenders recently and is he still considered a dangerous fighter?

            current champs are valuev and klitschko?

            have there been any good HW fights the last 5 years?
            Rahman recently got knocked out by Wladimir Klitschko. hadnt looked that great leading up to the fight, had trouble with Zuri Lawrence and was losing to James Toney
            Byrd also was knocked out by Klitschko some years ago, got tkoed by Alexander Povetkin and was beaten up badly by Shaun George when he fought at 175. His career is very likely done.
            Tua has been in a mess of lawsuits from what I know, but hes finally starting to fight again...hes supposed to fight Shane Cameron in August or something, which is a fight that is taking forever to happen.
            Maskaev surprisingly beat Rahman in the rematch, but seeing as hes almost 40 he wont be around for long. He got knocked out by Sam Peter not too long ago, and supposedly is the mandatory for Vitali Klitschko, although Vitali doesnt want to waste his time with such a worthless fight.
            Donald was robbed against Valuev in their fight, but has since lost to Povetkin and I doubt hell be around much longer, because hes ancient.

            The Klitschko brothers are the real champions of the division. Valuev got a gift against a 45 or 46 year old Evander Holyfield not long ago, and Chagaev is not only lousy but his injured often and inactive.

            last good fight I saw at HW was probebly Brewster vs. Liakhovich. otherwise, its not too exciting, unless you watch certain fighters.
            some good ones to watch are Povetkin, Dimitrenko, Haye, and Arreola. this Friday on ESPN Eddie Chambers and Sam Peter are fighting, which is actually a pretty important fight.

              Yes, but i heard he's planning on making a comeback once he gets out of jail. He's been pumping iron behind bars supposedly.
