    When the Klitschkos retire, the HW division will REALLY be poor

    There's a few decent boxers in the heavyweight division, but the only bona-fide, world-class fighters are Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

    Tomasz Adamek is very good, but he's not a real heavyweight, he's a blown-up cruiserweight. Alexander Povetkin is just an amateurish volume puncher. Denis Boytsov and Eddie Chambers are decent, but really too small for the division and should be cruiserweights. David Haye is nothing but a loud-mouthed fraud.

    The Klitschkos are keeping the heavyweight division alive. When they retire, it will REALLY suck.

            It's entertainingly good now. I'd sooner watch the K bros than any other boxers.

            The Klitschkos' fights, especially Wlad's, are to me what the superbowl is to an avid football fan.

              pretty much. the talent won't be the same, but it'll be fun to see it competitive again. wlad doesn't seem the type to hang around until he's decrepit. he's 34 now. i expect vitali will retire in the next year or two, and wlad will follow his lead a year or so later.

                  Yes, they are the best, much better than all the rest.

                  They are the most under appreciated and unfairly criticized fighters in boxing history.

                    I agree Tunney, when they retire it will just be a bunch of subpar fighters mixed with some decent ones trading ABC belts every couple months in competitive fights.
