    It's good....the problem is that it's not one one of the powerhouse sides which have dominated before so they start to downgrade it out of hate.

      Wîlder is hyped? Everybody acknowledges he can't box for shyt and all he's got going or him is his power.

      He is nothing in the US, nobody has ever heard of him, now if he were a Euro like Sturm, Bute, Abraham, etc. fighting bums he'd be a celebrity making millions.

        80's was great for HW's. Where did you get that from?

            K-DOGG;

            I'm amazed and relieved that even though you are "one of them" so to speak you still have the decency to entertain the other side of the coin on this issue.

            It's hard to really fault anything you say at times!

            Corso;

            Well Ray, not that you will be listening to MY theory anytime soon but on what you said about the next generation fighting each other more I'm afraid that is not the fighters or managers faults entirely. I has to do with the monetary landscape now. With all these belts now and the policies set the fighters are being managed along these lines to optimise their career longevity and pay packets.

            I feel the situation would be alleviated somewhat without the competing TV networks who "OWN" fighters which influence who they fight and if we went back to having just 3 belts then we could still have unifications and have more competition, unifications having to be staged at certain intervals after belts have been split.



            On Tyson Fury, the KD against Cunningham was due to nothing more than Fury show ponying around! He ran straight into the big right hand like a rhino, of course he was gonna go down but he wasn't hurt at all! He became serious after that!

            Also it's amusing you will criticise Fury for this yet not acknowledge golden boy Clay getting basically knocked OUT by 185 Cooper! Not biased much!

              Who's the idiot who claimed the 05 list was better than today's? LOL crazy!

              Foraman is a slow plodder with power. He is the underdog today! Dangerous and competitive as always but these aren't little kids he's knocking with now.

              Toney please, he's a joke!

                Most of the current heavies would beat most of the heavies from any other era. It's an obvious and undeniable fact in reality.

                What nationality are all the detractors? I bet nearly every single one of you is American!

                    It's garbage, those that say otherwise are simply doing it to hype up the Klitschkos' dominance which is commendable, but call a fuckin' spade a spade.

                      No it isn't because they've never fought. It is merely an opinion.
