since 2006 only heavyweight fights that were worth any fight fans time were:
Lyakhovich vs. Brewster
Arreola vs. Travis Walker
Mollo vs. Golota
Man these fights were competitive ya kno? Hard hittin dudes goin at it with fireworks every round. David Haye vs. Klitschko, Arreola vs. McCline and Chambers vs. Peter all will be heavyweight fights that will be fun to watch. Check it out.

There's been some very good heavyweight fights in Europe, such as Roth-Koeber, Dimitrenko-Hoffmann, and Pala-Boytsov. And there's some good ones coming up. There's a card on Apr 4 with three good matchups: Pianeta-Sosnowski, Povetkin-Estrada, and Platov-Koc.

The promoters in the US need to make more competitive matchups - Peter-Chambers is a good start.

Brian Minto, Malik Scott and Kevin Johnson might decent fighters but we can't tell because they fight nothing but clubfighters.

They're gone bro.

Some of these dudes might turn out okay if you give them a chance.

Goosen-Tutor Promotions is the premiere heavyweight promoter in my opinion. Set's up the best matchups internationally and has a damn good stable of heavies and I wish dude had more. Not to mention he got Paul Williams AND Dre Ward along wit the good heavyweight fights. Dude has it down. From Dre Ward and Eddie Chambers on the same card fightin decent opponents to Arreola and Paul Williams. Chambers vs. Povetkin, Arreola vs. Walker, Arreola vs. McCline, Chambers vs. Peter, Toney vs. Ruiz. Dude has great fights just wish he could have more premiere heavyweights.
