Is the Heavyweight Division at its worst because

[Ray Ray]

...there are more European fighters in it and not American??? Is the style difference between the two what makes it this way? Or is it that the entire division is crap?

No because it lacks the stiff competition that the late eras had. Too many heavyweight fighters come in very out of shape..No one wants to see that ****.

[Thread Stealer]

No, it's because it's bad, and people pretty much ALWAYS say that the HW era is currently weak.

The 80s were the age of the "lost heavyweights". *******, gluttony, laziness, etc...

I even remember writers complaining in the early 90s about it being weak. Now it's often looked upon as the 2nd greatest HW era in history.

It doesn't matter if it's American or Euro dominated. People have always complained about the current state of the HW division.

Terrible match-making is a big part of the problem. I'm sure a lot of people would be able to overlook their flaws if the fights were more exciting, such as Brewster-Lyakhovich was.

Make better match-ups for example Dimitrenko vs Povetkin, both of them always come to fight. I'm quite sure the winner would end up looking pretty good and perhaps the loser as well.

i think arreola should fight valuev....be some **** to see him ko valuev...bring some excitement to the division

The Heavyweights-----Excitement! There is two words we don't hear often, huh?4321

The division as a whole sucks, nationality has nothing to do with it. Anyway, the United States' best hope right now is a fat and lazy ("I don't like Big Bear...") guy, that sucks badly.

What about arreola

He's mexican... Flawless doesn't care about Mexicans

[BOSSHOGG]

Born in America Raised in America How is he mexican? Because he has mexican in him? Thats funny

[MANGLER]

It's got nothin to do wit ethnicity, it's cuz the fights are boring, plain and simple.

He's still mexican heritage. Like, I'm italian and british. But you don't understand that because your brain doesn't function correctly

its just a bad division. I mean, look at Holyfield. based on the wars hes been through, you would think that he would have been done with boxing by the time he was 35.

the guy should be a world champion right now a decade later. and this is after he was banned from boxing by an athletic commision...

although I think it has potential to get better. I like Boytsov, Dimitrenko, Povetkin, Haye and Arreola, and think they could make some fun fights if they ever end up fighting each other.

but for now, its basically Vitali and Wlad. everyone else is awful.
