          Hope that Vitali Arreola would have at least a knockout.

              wladimir klitschko
              the top HW fighters from over times would embarrass all the guys in the division right now lewis,tyson,foreman,ali,holmes-you cant even compare the klits 2 those guys
              all wlad does is defend against some guy who has just beaten an old shot champion and jabs him too death
              it upsets me how bad the division is,its pathetic

                    Correct.

                    Ali owned the division because, not only was he super talented, but the man was highly entertaining.

                    Even people who didn't watch boxing were drawn to his personality and looked forward to his fights for the excitement.

                    Much like Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Duran, Tyson, Hector Camacho,
                    Naseem Hamed, and others, the fans tuned in because of the energy they brought to the game.

                    Today's heavy weights aren't concerned with entertaining and wowing the crowd. It would certainly help boost the division.

                      This is the problem, perfectly worded.

                      As much as I love watching both of the Klitschkos fight, I am already a boxing fan. Tyson was an exciting, power punching, charismatic (read: bizarre), American heavyweight champion.

                      There hasn't been anyone like him since.
