    The heavyweight division is STACKED

    Fury
    Aj
    Wilder
    Usyk
    Hrgovic
    Whyte
    Parker
    Joyce
    Gassiev
    Hunter
    Yoka

    Now I know you guys miss the days of Klitschko vs 40 year old Hasim Rahman, Alex Leapai, Francesco Pianeta, Marius Wach, Juan Carlos Gomez, etc, etc, etc

    I know you also miss the days when Chris Areolla and Eddie Chambers were the future of the division.

    Or the 90s, they were so great weren't they, weren't no crack addicts in the top 10, or 45 year old George Foreman winning world titles was there, no way, the 90s heavyweight division was all killers, none of today's guys would survive, can you imagine any of those guys on that list lasting vs murderers like Tony Tubbs or Ray Mercer, because I can't.

    Maybe you miss the days of the bum of the month club, or George Foreman vs 5 club fighters.

    The heavyweight division right now is full of stacked, young, big, athletic talent, and we have a couple of elite smaller guys in there like Usyk.

    We have decorated amateurs, multiple world class super heavyweights.

    The division is STACKED, now the matchmaking does need improvement, but the division is the healthiest I've seen in terms of talent on 20 years.

    I know there's not many Americans in there butamerica is never going to dominate heavyweight boxing again so get used to it and enjoy the global talent on offer.

      You have mentioned 11 fighters that is all you have done.

      I disagree with the division being full of big athletic talent 'Most of them guys are ether slow with no power, or out of condition'.

      You would not have to make this thread, if the division was so great.

      The heavyweight division is competitive, but it is not a great era in terms of ability.

      Note: It is still the best division in the sport currently now for me.

              Yeah man. I miss the days when that big slick Russian Valuev was a world champion.

              Those were the days.

                You forgot to mention Ruiz.

                Division has a full potential, but matchmaking must be better. We need more fights between top 30 guys. I am looking forward to see Sanchez -Ajagba.

                    It is stacked and compared to the 90s and 00s, yes, it's way more competitive - but only if they fought as regularly and against each as they did in the 70s.

                    HW 70s era is better than any era before or after. And the Foreman vs 5 was an exhibition and bloody brilliant entertainment, unlike Mayweather Connor or Logan.
