By Jake Donovan - Slowly but surely, the world’s best heavyweights are clearing out the clutter and the confusion that for the past several years has marred what was once boxing’s most storied division.

The Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany played host to a title elimination bout between two legitimate Top Ten heavyweights this past Saturday.
