    What now for the Heavyweight division?

    Bring back the old school, not since a young tyson broke onto the boxing scene in the 80s has anybody took the heavyweight division by the scruff of the neck and dominated the division, only Holmes before him and he was robbed at the hands of spinks and destroyed by tyson at the end of his career. holyfield and bowe boxed it out in the 90s, lewis beat dead wood in 2000 onward and who the hell did quitsklo defeat nobodies. About time somebody took a hold on the once baddest division on the planet. Bring back the 50s 60s 70s 80s cos the rest were garbage. the lower divisions now dominate.

        Lewis and Holyfield beat far better opposition than Tyson ever did over there careers....Tyson is so overrated.

                They are all around the same age....they should have been just as washed up.....I am not saying they beat great opposition just better than Mike I am not going to have a pissing match and say this and that....If you want to find out what people think make a poll thread on who people think beat better opposition out of the three and you will get your answer I am quite sure Tyson will come out last.

                  what im saying is nobody has took hold of the division the way tyson and the others have before him, tyson dominated from 1986 when he defeated trevor berbick to 1990 when he lost to buster douglas, the other world champs after him, the belts passed between more than 1 fighter, could you say holyfield and lewis did this.

                    I think the point hurricanehardly was trying to get across was the state of the heavyweight division.
                    If you read what he (or she) has wrote you will see that they are not trying to start a debate about who was better than who. But the point is that there is not one individual who can stand up there and proclaim to be a great fighter.
