After the Klitschko bros. retire..

[KidKwik]

Heavyweight Boxing will be so much more interesting/entertaining

Explain why or why not in here

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

No real skill AT HW after they are gone, belts will change hands more often. Who will be king is the real question?

[LeG00N]

it's going to be trash, a bunch of fat bums beating each other. What we're witnessing right now is pure Domination and Supremacy. There's no dispute as to who the Kings of HW are.

[kardsufur]

No it's going to be far worse. When Vitali was king it was the most exciting in the past decade, now that only Wlad is left it's down a peg and after that it'll be down even more pegs.

[STEELHEAD]

want to get wlad out of there. he's too emberassing to watch.
he gives boxing a bad name.

[Weebler I]

I think more big fights will get made instead of everyone protecting records and not fighting while hoping for a Klitschko shot.

which era was worse the chris byrd-john ruiz era or this one?

[Bigg Rigg]

Honestly, I can't imagine anything worst then what I saw Saturday.

Well Woody Allen, you have to consider more than just the names. Chris Byrd was really a 6 ft tall middleweight with absolutely no punch, and just his cleverness and reflexes to help him. Ruiz was also not much taller and had very limited skills. Yet both held their titles for 3-5 years and had many defences. I actually enjoyed each and every one of their fights.

The Klitschko era is hard to quantify. They've easily dispatched almost every opponent. We don't know how those opponents might have developed had the Klitshckos not been there. So the comparisons are not fair. By their utter superiority the Klitschko era seems the worst, but...... Joe Louis era was also very spotty, and Marciano's was just about the worst of the lot. We all tend to forget that he had only 6 defences over a 3-4 year period and just about all against long past prime former greats. And he made heavy weather of all of them-except his 1 punch KO of Walcott in their return a year after their first fight.

It will be more exciting...will it be better? Depends what you consider better I guess. I don't see anyone right now that can be a long reign title holder in the division. You will get more exciting fights though, because while the klits are dominate they aren't all too easy to watch. Bernard was dominate at Middleweight but his fights weren't always exciting. The middleweight division now is a lot more exciting, though I don't think anyone in it now would've beat bernard when he was there.

More exciting? Probably yes. More fights being made, more titles changing hands. A better overall skill level? Very very unlikely. It depends on what you like to see.
