    The HW division is popular now in mainland Europe.

    If Wilder becomes champ, the popularity will increase in the USA. And if Joshua becomes champ (I think he will in a few years) interest will be very high in the UK.

        This is true, I think that's changing though. Especially if Haye leaves.

            I think the heavyweight division is headed in a good direction. Their are a lot of really good fighters out their, and many of them are willing to **** heads. That's making everything very interesting.

            The only real problem, at this point, is that Wlad is an extremely boring fighter, just like Mayweather, only Wlad isn't hated like Floyd, so there is very little appeal to his fights.

            You watch Mayweather fight because you are hoping someone knocks his ass out and shuts his arrogant criminal mouth.

            Wlad just doesn't have that kind of image, so his fights are just boring, period. No real appeal, at all, for the casual boxing fan.

              You must be American? For you what matters is that a great yank HW emerges. If say Wilder beats Klitschko, the HW are back on top in the US.

                Competition between genuinely good fighters. Outside of Wlad and Haye, who might be retired for all I know, what genuinely good fighters are there in the division?

                The fights suck, when the fights don't suck maybe HW will reclaim its place atop the throne.

                  Mayweather's fights are much more entertaining than Wlad's. The skillset Floyd uses is so much better, even though the fights are not competitive.

                    Do you have a statistic provingthat?

                    Personally I think it's a myth. I'd like to see a statistic for fights between top ten contenders in different decades.

                      More fights between top fighters. I want the top ten fighting tooth and nail until a genuine competitor for Wlad comes about.

                      Get Wlad in a fight people think he might lose and watch the interest grow

                      Oh and Cardio. There should be fitness test before you enter the top 20
