What happens to the heavyweight division when Wladimir Kiltschko retires?

[Jedi Vader]

How many HOF's are on Wladimir's resume?

The question applies to both Klits.

Arguably Byrd and Haye (if CW is included).

But don't be mistaken. Wlad and Vitali are the sole reason there was no other fighters that would be considered HOF. If Wlad gone to war with let's say povetkin and it ended up with trilogy, povetkin might be a candidate for HOF.

This guy is one of the most extreme Klit **** sniffers on Boxingscene.

I don't see it. You have low standards for HOF status.

Precisely.

It's a pity the like of Joshua wasn't around a couple of years ago when those fat no-hopers were the only contenders to the Klitschko's.

Please, none of those guys you mentioned are hardly considered great heavyweights. Compare them to names like Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe, etc. This era of heavweights stink. It looks like it'll come down to who's the best of a mediocre crop of fighters.

do you understanding english?

I never even came close to mentioning those guys were great heavyweights

Wladimir's belts will change hands a few times before Joseph Parker and Anthony Joshua rule the roost.

That said, Luis Ortiz is flying under the radar. He also has the potential to clean up once Wladimir steps aside.

There is nothing wrong with the Heavy Weight Division that a black American champ wont cure.

Two things strike me here. Americans think they truly reflect the world, so if they say the division sucks, then it must suck.. However outside the USA Heavy weight fights are still the main event.
And Americans are so fucking insecure and can't deal with not being number 1 at everything.. When they aren't.. The first thing they do is malign whatever they are not number one at and then act like they don't care. When they are number one.. It suddenly matters again.

It gets boring after a while.

Spot on. If Wladimir retired tomorrow and, somehow, Deontay Wilder picked up a vacant title, Americans would be calling him the greatest HW since Ali, if not the GOAT.

H2H Wilder actually IS greater than anything pre 80's in the sense that he'd basically knock every single one of them out in the first round.

But you are right, the moment an American wins the title, it's a strong era again. Pathetic!

An entire mythology created by a nation so licked by global boxers that it just couldn't face it. Even to the point of rubbishing there own boxers as no good until they are top again.

It's the AMERICAN way!
