I'm going to go out on a limb and say I'm just done with Heavyweight Boxing, at least for now.
Watching lastnight's fight with Arreola and Klitschko was an indication to me that nothing exciting is going to come out of that division for as long as the Klithscko's are running ****. Now this is not a diss at all towards them, they do what they gotta do. But when Chris Arreola is being called the best American Heavyweight prospect, that there is my cue to just stop watching. There is not 1 Heavyweight prospect, veteran, old timer who's going to beat these guys. They're 2 tiers above everyone else in every field. It seems as if every fight is set up with this one guy who may have a puncher's chance against the questionable chin of Wlad and the "aging" Vitali facing a young challenger. But in the end, you get the same result. The only 2 guys that are made mention of to have a "chance" to beat either guy are David Haye and Nikolai Valuev...just wow.
Some people will think I'm hating on both the Klitschkos, but that is farther from the truth. I love seeing competition, and neither of these guys are facing any real competition (which isn't their fault either) nor do they finish fights like Heavyweights are supposed to. Boxing fan or not, boring is boring to me.
