    another one of those "don't say its bad if you can't do it" excuses. I suppose no one should ever criticize anything about sports unless they do it professionally now.

      I think right now, the division is very fun,,, not as great as the 70's or 90's but better than the 50's and early 60's

      I think their are alot of great fights to be made,,, not the most talented group ever but alot of fun matchups to make

      wlad-povetkin
      haye-fury
      then throw in
      vitali
      stiverne
      arreola
      wilder
      mitchell
      thompson
      maybe marco huck moves up for good,,,

      alot of fun fights

            Most those fighters are awful. The best besides Haye and the Klitschkos are average, if we're being nice.

              50's were worse IMO... Marciano's best wins were 40+ year old guys,,, that era was very top-heavy and barren after about 3 guys

              so was the mid 2000's.. the byrd-ruiz era was pretty crappy

              At least this era has some fun matchups and it goes about 20 deep worth of guys that can provide exciting matchups,, sure no one will probably beat the klits,, but after the klits, its a free for all:

              chisora
              wilder
              mitchell
              price
              povetkin
              haye
              fury
              helenius
              pulev
              arreola
              stiverne
              thompson
              huck???
              botysov
              adamek
              cunningham

              You can mix and match these guys and have some great fights

                if these guys would quit being divas and get big fights made, the division could breathe a little. Fury-Haye is at least a start.

                    That's the biggest problem. It's too easy for heavyweights to just fight stiffs these days and make a decent wage off of it

                    It must be a great gig to be a journeyman these days

                      It's kind of sad that I'd pick old George Foreman over absolutely everyone in the division besides Wlad. Even old Vitali.
