Is it me or does every Heavyweight have absolutely no head movement?

Heavyweight is the most boring division to watch. The lower divisions are far more entertaining to watch with superior athletes, skills and action. Heavyweight hasen't been fun for the last ten years or so.

Evander was still using a lot of head movement even in his fight with Valuev. As much head movement as welter weights. Outside of him though not much. I like to think Haye will have to move his head a lot.

true, they are too obese to move their heads... the blubber around the midsection prevents it.

The heavyweight division isn't what it used to be. After the 1990's it got bad.

Yeah... Apart from Haye, I can't think of any current HW with good head/upper body movement. They're all very rigid and flat-footed. I think Chagaev moves his head somewhat, but it's not effective. Likewise Dimitrenko and Povetkin.

Allmost all the Eastern European fighters use the same stand up style.

The heavyweight division is terrible, and has been since Lennox Lewis retired and no one was left to challenge the Klitschkos. Samuel Peter looked like a contender and did give Wlad a fight, but he can't keep himself focused and in shape.

You know, I've noticed that too. And they're not really quick with the hands, just heavy handed. I guess you don't need to move your head too much when you can see the punch coming at you in slow motion. lol
