The heavyweight division is only for HIGH TESTOSTERONE fans

[Earl-Hickey]

People who hate on heavyweight are low testosterone girly boys who probably weigh a buck 50.

Nothing beats a heavyweight war of two men over 240lbs loading up the kitchen sink, no pitty pat, no tap dancing, no twinkle toes pirouetting, just big brutes whacking away at each others heads.

That fight made me want to go out and bend some ***** over and **** the **** out of her, really got the juices flowing.

This HW era is only good for laughs

Only problem there is Parker and Chisora are both packing feather fists and neither was looking for the kill.

this era is def better than the 90s era.
lennox lewis only had to beat an utterly self-ruined mike tyson and a post-steroid suffering version of Evan fields ie a weaker version...that's all he had to do to be widely considered a top 3 HW of all time.
it was prob a more enjoyable era for boxing because back then people didnt have the extent of entertainment we do today, so a good sporting event/boxing fight, was valued more. boxing was a bigger deal. you have to go out and buy the papers to read about it.

I can't see any of these guys beating Chris Byrd

Ah yes!!! thank you for confirming what a stud I am... As a representative of real men everywhere ahem... I concur. Here is a simple test if one is unsure that their testosterone is right: Watch the Lyle Foreman fight... If your girlfriend is not sore the next day, best to see the doc!

[Damn Wicked]

Heavyweights can be fun to watch but when they run out of gas and start flopping around the ring like 2 fat walruses, their fights become frustrating and unentertaining. The small guys are usually much more exciting in terms of consistent action.

Being a heavyweight is a cheat code in life and boxing

it doesn’t take much for a good heavyweight to become a star

can you imagine people caring about wilder if he wasn’t a heavyweight

You just proved my point actually.

Ocasio, loads of losses on his record. was given a free belt once.
Mike Weaver, similar, 8 losses on his record...was stiverne'd a free belt in 1982 after it was made vacant..in a weak time period.
Mccrory, was stiverned a vacant belt. look at his resume, lost to loads of bums.

Tony Tucker was actually good, so no hate at all, but he was once gifted a vacant belt too, so def not a real champion. was 35 and past it by the time lewis beat him on points. not really an elite fight that warrants 'ATG' status.

Frank Bruno, yeh, he wasnt actually that good. let's be honest here. he's a darling of british boxing only because of his character. his big win was vs oliver Mccall who had even lost to the father of Michael Hunter.

tommy Morrison, beat a long past it Foreman for a vacant title. like most of em with a padded deontay wilder esque resume and lucky to become a world champ
Ray Mercer, more of the same, became a hw champion beating an even worse than charles martin type of hw who was gifted a free belt.

Mccall, **** average, as i explained he lost to michael hunter's dad..and current michael hunter is a better fighter than his dad was.

akinwande, again won a vacant belt, few bum fights. choked against lewis. to even mention this fight...seriously.

Briggs, padded record, lost to a bum before. so honestly by the time he was going into the lennox lewis fight, he was just a bum and would not be classed any better than a dominic brezeale. eventually won a proper belt in a weak era.

Rahman, yeh, but no...guy got lucky in that fight, we know the story. he lost the rematch easily.

vitali, the headclash messed up the fight. he was winning prior to that.

'absolutely shames' lol...



Furthermore, AJ is 32 right now. lennox was beating akinwande at that stage. come on huh? like i said, all he really had to do was beat a shot mike tyson and a steroid abusing holyfield
dillian whyte, parker, povetkin, pulev, ruiz, wladmir klitschko...by 32..and you're hating? even if povetkin, pulev and whyte havent been world champions, they're superior to most of those names above.

Wilder, trash resume, gifted a free belt, but you can't deny his power. not a single one of the guys lennox fought in their prime (which excludes mike tyson) had that sort of power except vitali and like i said, that fight was spoiled early. lennox was derped by mccall and rahman with single punch ko's. whilst im sure lewis would have slept wilder, honestly would he have held up if wilder landed clean on him like he did to fury? over 3 fights, are you sure lennox would have won all 3?

andy ruiz, well he's sort of an oliver mccall/rahman type of story. he isnt really a proper champion. parker's better than him.
you can't trash what Tyson Fury's done so far and that's after 3 yrs out of the ring. beat wlad, beat wilder x3.

when im talking about this era, im also inc the likes of joe joyce, hrgovic, dubois. im also inc usyk and even michael hunter. im also inc pulev and povetkin. makhmudov and jalalov. there are more coming. the depth of talent right now is a different level compared to the 90s era.
