    I don't think it will be trash, but it will seem like it when we're missing all-time great talents like the Klitschko brothers!

      It will probably be more interesting in that there will be parity, but the skill and talent level will be terrible.

        It will? Oh because we have that one dude who went life and death against Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest Finalist contestant #57e?

          Immediately no.

          But I have a big hopes for the guy in my signature (and I don't mean Lennox).

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.
            This is what I was trying to imply with the OP it'll be much more exciting now

                Better matchups, yes.

                Better fighters, no.

                  Another Klitschko will probably come along.

                  More big men are entering HW boxing now, realizing they can use their size to gain an unfair advantage over smaller men.

                    We've seen a good boost in interesting names, some of which might just give us a big fight for us to watch, others may have the potential to dominate. Joshua isn't looking too shabby right now. I think having Fury, Joshua and Wilder is better than having Ruiz, Valuev and Byrd.

                    So Wilder got knocked down by some fatty. He has at least beaten better competition than that since then. Liakhovich, Audley and Firtha are still better than that standard, even though in no way good tests of his ability. I think he's over come that embarrassing moment.

                      The fights will be more competitive and suspenseful but only because the top HWs won't be as good as either K-bros, if you call that "better" then that is your opinion.
