Fight Fans Know the Heavyweights Suck....

what better idea do you have then of making the HW division better?

Getting rid of it.

LOL

The thing that makes people like HW boxing is the KOs.
If we get someone starting to knock blocks off and keep winning, it might help. IMO

I like the action of the lighter weights, but it seems to me that there are far less KOs in those divisions...

I don't hate any fighter (well, maybe De La Hoya), but someone needs to offset the blind love on the boards for a guy that hasn't earned it yet

Part of this is a good point.

I think VK did earn good respect though.

nah, we just keep watching til it gets better. but that doesn't mean we think it's top-notch.

Being heavyweight champ now is (sorry to Doug Stanhope for stealing his line) equivalent to being the "prettiest Denny's waitress"

You could start in that direction by NOT discussing any of the HW matters.

There are plenty of KO's below heavyweight....& the best punchers in the sport (Corrales, Trinidad, Pacquiao, R.Marquez, Tszyu, etc.) come from below heavy.

Unlike you, fanboy, I'm concerned about the sport....not just a couple of fighters with similar accents to myself.

Indeed there are good KO artists in those divisions, but they are sprinkled throughout. In HW, the odds are greater to see someone get starched. but at the same time the odds are good to see them get winded and hug each other to death

Stiff,

List your favorite fighters please. I will list mine

the heavyweights are shocking.....except for perhaps byrd who actually boxes.....could you imagine a welterweight boxing the way vitali does??...he wouldn't reach the 5 pro win mark!

What about Prince Naseem? He did pretty good with no technique! so did Roy Jones!
