    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 liked Vitali and Wladimir more than Fury, AJ and Wilder.

        Vitali was fun, but Wladimir was boring af.

          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.

            I don't miss watching Wladimir hold another man's head in his armpit for 30 minutes.

              To be honest, that is not worse than Joshua fighting Franklin in the future, Wilder fighting helenius for 1 round or Fury giving the second rematch to Chisora.

                  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!

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 out
                    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

                      A joke, right?

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