Reasons the Heavyweight Divison is Messed Up

[jimbo04]

The heavyweight division is messed up. Possible reasons are as follows:

1. The talent is not respected (more that likely justifiable)

2. The top heavyweights are not fighting each other.

3. No big stars.

4. The alphabet soup

Not to mention things like Toney's failed steroid test, Klitschko’s back surgery and a champion like Brewster, who may lose tonight but is Golota that much of an improvement?

welcome to boxingscene first off..... n 2, u made sum valid points

i think the talent is just not there.the one with the most skills is byrd and i would rather watch paint dry than watch him fight.but also these paper champs need to fight each other to see which is the king paper champ.as far as the toney roid thing,,any real boxing fan knows that toney didnt need roids to beat ruiz.its just common sense.another thing that hurting boxing is the bad judgeing in some fights.the only thing that is saving boxing right now is the lighter fights.these as of latly have been giving us some really good shows recently

#1. Their either to lazy to train

#2. Their all bitches who are scared to fight others
especially Chris Byrd...nobody gave Toney a shot
except Ruiz...that's why I respect Ruiz now.....
Lamon Brewster is all heart to..

Chris Byrd should be stripped of his title for fighting such a big bum...

I feel sorry for Vitali, everytime he gets a big name, the guy comes in overweight, hopefully Rahman comes in shape so we can see if Vitali is the real deal...Anyone with such a size advantage like that should be able to become undisputed champion EASILY or they are labelled a bum....
