Im playing along Im not trying to bust balls Im just trying to prove a point. So basically since 2003 there hasnt been any other GREAT Heavies. Doesnt that mean this era is not a great one.

That makes no sense at all.

You can say Fighter A is a great fighter before they fight Klits but we havent been able to do that. None of them are great. Its the Klits and everyone ese.

When I think of great heavyweights and when heavyweight fighting was at it's last prime would probably be the Tyson-era. You started with Tyson then Holyfield and ending with Lewis. Those three fighters made the 90's and early 2000's great heavyweight years.

The Klitschko's are making their carefully selected opponents look bad.

David Haye would be a good fight but he's trying to build up his record first. Beating Valuev is not easy, considering Valuev's record. Haye is definitely up there as a world class heavyweight but he still hasn't had much experience with the bigger guys. We need to see him in there with a few more fighters before arguing whether he would have given past champs a run for their money.

It's definitely a weak era whichever way you spin it. You know that when some of these ex-guys from the Lewis era (which was very strong) are still competing at the top despite being in their late 30's and 40's.

i.e. Ruiz, Tua, Rahman, Holyfield etc
