Is the heavyweight division in America dead?

[TheIronMike]

Jonathan Rice is carrying the American HW division, he has better wins than any contender!

HW has been dead for years so it’s nothing new. When people talk about the likes of Jared Anderson and Usyk as some great fighters, you know the division suck ass.

I stopped following the HWs since like 03’ cuz it’s boring as ***.

You're delusional. Fury and Wilder both beat AJ. Fury beats Usyk. The fact you would rank 10 guys over Wilder shows the levels of your delusion.

The only one here who is delusional is you for thinking an unskilled bum in Wilder who has beaten not one single world class fighter in all this time is some kind of top fighter. Wilder is a fantasist and extremely delusional. He's proven it enough times. Plus, he's a coward who is scared. He's had enough opportunities to fight the best for a stinking amount of money way beyond the bums worth, but he turned it all down and ran like the coward he is to his core.

You didn't answer to the question of what Wilder has done in the last 5 years to be a top 10 fighter? What's wrong, is the question too hard to answer so want to deflect instead?

Usyk is a bona fide great fighter. Anderson hasn't even proved himself to be a decent fighter. But it's not surprising to see him hyped by Americans. They'll hype absolute bums and cast them off as some kind of gold until it's proven they're absolutely nothing like clockwork.

Heres an interesting question, in yall's opinions what could bring back the HW division? In my opinion it would be someone who's dominating and audacious that just storms the gates like certain old champions

I don't think it's ever going back the way the rate it's going nowadays. Most of the ones I used to see fight, even the 2nd level guys are no longer fighting. Most of them unofficially retired.

Nothing will bring it back. It has become too expensive to stage heavyweight fights now.

[HandsofIron]

It's dead broke.

Frank Sanchez vs Chris Arreola is the only semi decent fight coming.

Not only in America. take a look at boxrec rankings and tell me how many top 50 guys have the fight scheduled. And the most of them still haven`t fought this year.
