when did you stop watching HW? last exciting fight?

[MariusJin]

i think the last HW bout I watched was Lewis vs some Ukranian looking giant. this was towards the end of lenox's career. lenox made this dude bleed so bad i think the fight was stopped during early to mid rounds. it was one of the ugliest cuts in the history of boxing.

i stopped following the HW because nobody has emerged since lewis. it seems like they are just throwing random big people in there with very little skills. i miss the good old days when HW fighters were quick, smart, athletic and sharp. it seems like the HWs now are robotic and their moves are slow and linear... very dull.

i would never throw a penny to watch a HW bout today. it is sad to see this division fall this way. we need a new Ali, Tyson or Lenox and co-existence of descent challengers to save this division.

[THE REED]

I watch all boxing, regardless...

96% of the HW bouts are free anyway..

[Golden Boi 360]

i still watch them if i can find a stream. i found a stream for vitali-sosonowski. pretty boring fight.

Heavyweights are great!

I enjoyed Adamek-Arreola and Boytsov's and Povetkin's past ten fights.

I've been following a lot of promising young HWs in Europe such as Kubrat Pulev, KO specialist Robert Helenius, David Price, Vyacheslav Glazkov and Ondrej Pala.

The future is bright for the heavyweight division. Only those few people who are prejudiced against European boxers say otherwise.

where can i see recorded fights for these prospects? i hope they bring some
action here in the states.

[Mr. Mandingo]

TS is right. HW needs smart, non-linear boxers like Tyson

I've posted about ten of their fights in our videos section, in a thread entitled "young European heavyweights"

http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=344576

The most recent is Oleg Platov vs. Gbenga Olouken from Saturday. He put on a bodypunching clinic against the durable and very determined Oluken.

I'd like to see some of them come to the US.

Fedosov is fighting in the US this coming Saturday against Lance Whitaker, but he's not nearly as good as Boytsov, Helenius and Pulev.

maybe we also nees new promoters in the HW division.

Most definitely.

Too bad Goossen or Golden Boy haven't signed some exciting young HW like Denis Boytsov or Vyacheslav Glazkov.

Don King signed Mario Preskar a few years ago, but ruined him by keeping him inactive for 18 months.
