Why is the Heavyweight Division so Boring?

[dans]

Its mainly due to poor conditioning, If you watch cruiserweight title fights vs heavyweight title fights over the past 4-5 years the cruiserweights have produced massively better fights.

Good post.

I have been saying that we're missing out on all these great fights that used to happen from 200-210. This is where all the great fighters used to be, but now it's rare to see a heavyweight below 220. It's a shame, I almost would like another division from 200-220 or something.

How about:

Heavyweight: 200 to 220 lbs.
Super Heavyweight: 220 lbs. above

Its because of bad conditioning, appart from Wlad and Vitali who else is in good condition? Theyre all overweight and therefore slow and poor stamina, so they throw like 8 punches in a round and have to be tactical to win rather than using exciting K.O power

Remeber the Golden age of boxing's Heavyweights, aaaahhhhh goooood timesss..... good timesss.

Yes!

That's what I've been saying for a while now. Force these flabby heavyweights to make weight and I guarentee we see some better fights.

Only boring to small minded Americans. The klitschos kill all opposition with KOs. But americans want black loud mouthed american fighters or they say the division is crap.

Knock outs do not equal excitement, why is that so hard to understand?

COMPETITION makes for excitement. Watching Wlad shoot a jab all night until the other guy falls over is not my idea of exciting.

I don't fault the brothers, they're great fighters dominating their division. But to say the division is exciting is quite a stretch.

Its all good, we just want some action from other fighters.... not only from the Klitschos.

In that case you should blame it on your fat american boxers who is so weak and fat Wlads left hand is enough to kill them.

Good idea. The only problem is they'll just move to Super Heavyweight.
