I just enjoy fighters who fight......Klitschko usually fought a minimum of twice a year.....nowadays we'd be lucky to get 2 bouts.
I enjoyed Klitschko`s more than todays heavyweights

Wilder and Fury are still active boxers, but they already talk about fighting UFC guy Ngannou in a boxing match. man, it is so disappointing.
To be honest, Usyk beating these two would be the best thing for division.Comment

This era, the post klitschko era, will be viewed as a golden age of HW boxing. You had the 3-headed chimera in Wilder, Joshua and Fury. Each a monster in their own right. Wilder: the absolutely insane puncher, Joshua the model/athlete fighter, and Fury the gypsy king. Wilder and Fury fought a legendary trilogy. Then you had the cruiser Usyk make his way up and defeat the giant Joshua(the man who ended klitschko's career). It was all very surreal and intense as it was happening.
What does the Klitschko era have to compare. Vitali is at best a hypothetical ATG based entirely of, really, a losing effort against Lewis. Wladimir? the Haye fight. Wlad's fight against Povetkin was a disaster(Wlad's/ref fault). What else do the Klitschkos have?
What we are seeing now in the HW division culminates in the Fury-Usyk fight probably. ~2016-2023. It will be viewed as a much better, and significantly greater stretch of HW action than ~2005-2015!Comment

Klitschko are greats but funny how they dominated the division yet their highlights fights are their losses to AJ/Lewis. Both took an uppcercut well in those fights though
The crowning moment of Vitali's career seems to be getting knocked out in 6/7 rounds by a completely out of shape and finished Lennox Lewis. Let's not forget he also got knocked out by feather-fisted Bryd, then ducked the rematch so the real Klitschko, Wlad, could batter Bryd. Nash outComment

A joke, right?This era, the post klitschko era, will be viewed as a golden age of HW boxing. You had the 3-headed chimera in Wilder, Joshua and Fury. Each a monster in their own right.

Joshua - Usyk is Wladimir - Haye level fight. Just, Wladimir was better than Joshua.Comment
