Heavyweight boxing is pathetic!!!

[MuckMuck]

You just hate the Klits cause they are white. If they were black and fought the exact same way, you would praise them.

To me, I can't get excited about the Heavyweight division because all the Americans that have decent boxing ability don't have the punch to go with it. I don't care what anybody says. I might sound like somebody who won't give the Klits credit, but when is the last time you saw Vladimir fight a guy with boxing ability and punching power at the same time? The reason why we know that Ali was great is because he had guys to test him. The reason we know Joe Louis is great is because he had guys to test him. The reason we know Marciano is great is because he had guys to test him. The reason why we finally found out that Lennox Lewis belongs in the category of an ATG is because he passed the test of beating, yeah I said it, Vitali Klitchko while he was out of shape.

Those guys all had one thing in common. The fighters in their division had the punching power to test them. Vlad and Vitali don't have that for the most part. Now the Arreola win was a pretty good win. But there is an example of how Vitali gets the power puncher while Vladimir gets the undersized guys almost 100% of the time even though they both fight their share of undersized feather fisted boxers. But Vitali is the greater of the two by far.

Im a white european just like them but yeah you must be right!!

[RobbieFowler]

Tuggers is right, its not the Klits fault, the division has too much little talent and the weights are are not in line with a competitive atmosphere. I give all respect to them, they follow their plans and execute incredibly - with that said, its boring as boring can get and I long for the days when there is a HW fight I care about

[Mr. Anonymous]

I agree, there is only so many times I can watch a much bigger man jab a fat little guy for a whole fight.

Nobody told that man to be little and Fat and go up against a much bigger man! he knew what he was stepping in the ring with! If a HW cant get right and train hard than this is what we have. Klits aint ducking nobody they are fighting what they have. And winning. What they are here to do!

[Kryptonian]

I gotta disagree, Amercian HW's are pathetic, the euro's have essentially taken over and are filling arenas on a regular basis with 50k plus. The Klitchko bros. would have be top ten in any era, they aren't just big but they have so much athletism and boxing skills. Its just a shame they could never cross over to the American market mainly because the good competition is also Euro and American fighters don't put up much of a fight.

Just ask Lennox Lewis how good they are, he never did grant a rematch to a man who was forced to not continue due to cuts. A true champion would have granted a rematch.

[The Hammer]

I bet the likes of Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman etc watch this **** and cringe!!!

That's not true. The division is doing very well with very good boxers like the Klitschkos, Haye, Povetkin, Boytsov, and Pulev.

The American heavyweights are not very good, but overall the division is fine.

[Earl-Hickey]

That's not true. The division is doing very well with very good boxers like the Klitschkos, Haye, Povetkin, Boytsov, and Pulev.

The American heavyweights are not very good, that part is true.

I just spat my drink over the keyboard reading that

[Nautilus]

That's not true. The division is doing very well with top notch boxers like the Klitschkos, Haye, Povetkin, Boytsov, and Pulev.

I think the division is great, but who is Pulev?

Did you just compliment Haye? I thought you hated him.
