I hate to say that but to listen to some here talk about these guys like their gifted or skilled is a joke!!!




    Carry on, just remember to wipe the Klitz "brown off your noses" before you go to sleep!! idn't want to highjack but it gets nausiating!!! Ray

      You have the champions: Wladimir and Vitali. (i'm don't regard Povetkin as one.) Then the contenders:

      David Haye
      Bryant Jennings
      Alexander Povetkin
      Tyson Fury
      Steve Cunningham
      Seth Mitchell
      Deontay Wilder
      David Price
      Odlanier Solis

      The division looks like it is picking up.
      Fighting each other after padding their records is now finally starting to happen. Fury v Cunningham will do huge ratings on NBC. Wilder v Fraudley will be a highlight reel KO for Wilder ,who can flat out scrap. Mitchell gets his chance for revenge vs Banks soon enough and we'll see if he has the goods. Same with Price who gets a second shot at Thonpson in July. Wes Notfire looks like the real deal at 6'6" and 240 lbs. Monk Foreman looks pretty good so far. Bryant Jennings reminds me of Holyfield. Povetkin has the tools but he is a puzzy. Boystov has hand issues but he can scrap. Haye has the BIG TOE issue. Pianeta is WAY better than people think,he will have a decent showing vs Vlad. Pulev is a beast . Adamek is a good HW trial horse. Arreola is very good HW with a good chin,fast hands,power, and is a WARRIOR. Mago is a KO maniac who can punch. Franklin Lawrence,Thompson,Carr, Kauffman, Stiverne,Andy Ruiz,Joe Hanks,Banks, and Chisora add some much needed depth to the HW scene. Mansur and Spzilka are FUN as hell to watch,they go for broke every fight, and get hit.Lucas Browne and Flores are up and comers too. Best crop of HW since the late 90's-early 2000's..Should be fun !!!

        I seriously believe you're a troll. Anyone who makes such a high number of spelling and grammar errors in such a short post is either trying to be funny or is borderline ******ed. I'm going to be generous and say it's the former, even though your post isn't funny.

          If you can't agree with that, I dunno what to say.
          I agree.

          Some of the good ones are:

          Bryant Jennings
          Malik Scott
          Deontay Wilder
          Bogdan Dinu
          Francesco Pianeta
          Kubrat Pulev
          Vyacheslav Glazkov
          (had a very skilled foe last time out, he'll learn from it)
          Jonathan Banks (underrated)
          Alexander Povetkin (working with Tszyu now, he'll be back to his best form)
          Tyson Fury (would not be an easy fight for anybody)
          David Price (he'll rebound, wait and see)

          Then there's some that might do well:

          Krzysztof Zimnoch
          Luiz Ortiz
          Carlos Takam
          Magomed Abdusalamov (poor defense, but he's exciting to watch)

          These two are good, but their promoters have been ruining their careers:

          Mike Perez
          Denis Boytsov

            The division is in said horrible state and the best fighting so infrequently and not taking on the other top fighters only hurts it more.

              I like Scott and Glazkov too.I missed thenm on my list. I hope Kosta can give Povetkin some balls and have him fight anyone with a pulse.

                It has been alive. It is just on the other side of the world where the top guys are from.

                  tbh if you took a contender like say the frank bruno from the late 80s early 90s that lost to the likes of smith, tyson,lewis and witherspoon he would probably beat every one of them and be the toughest guy ever to face wlad ... thats the difference between a stacked era and what we have now ...
