How long will it take for the heavyweight division to regain its dominance in boxing

[strykr619]

I love both the K brothers but I will be the first to admit that their dominance also hinders the heavyweight division. Will the division every be as explosive as it was in the 70's thru mid 90's?

If they fight each other, the limelight will be focused back at the heavyweight division. But it wouldn't happen. Right now, there is no one available to create a serious challenge to them and the dearth of competition will not bring the heavyweight division out of their doldrums.

You mean in the USA? Well, since it's going to be dominated by europeans for the foreseeable future, I'm going to say not anytime soon.

You make it sound like it was one great period from the early 70s straight through the late 90s. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The 80s were total dogshi**. A geriatric Holmes beating up one tomato can after another then Tyson taking over the helm and doing likewise. The entire HW during the 1980s was not a single bit better than the period of 2000-2010.

Difference is there was some great fights during the 80's where as most of the heavyweight title fights during the 00's have been poor. Although Brewster was always good to watch.

When the Klitschkos retire. The U.S. have a few good HW prospects like Deontay Wilder, Seth Mitchell, Joe Hanks. all exciting fighters. Europe has prospects like Kubrat Pulev, Tyson Fury, David Price, Denis Boytsev. These are all exciting fighters(unlike the klitshckos)

Chisora will bring the excitiment back to the division.

Have you see the new young east european HW's? They are far more excisting than the K sisters. In 2 years time the HW division will be like it was in the 90's

5 Years i reckon so some upcoming american prospects take over once Klitchsco Sisters and David Gaye Retire

That's what I think, Americans see their fight and see how technical they are and are disappointed, especially when the H.W. division use to be a 1 hitter quitter. I can understand why people don't like the division right now, but it will be back soon, casual fans like H.W. knockouts.
