What happens to the heavyweight division when Wladimir Kiltschko retires?

[LacedUp]

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.

The heavyweight division is bad though.

You have a 40+ whatever journeyman type fighter in Tony Thompson included in the top 10.

A stiff like Pulev is considered one of the best. Don't insult us please. There's not 3 top heavyweights who can go 12 rounds comfortably today and there's certainly no one other than Wlad with any skills worth taking note off. As in the grand scheme of heavyweight history.

Every single one of th me turds from #2- infinite wouldn't be as much as a wank stain in the 90s.

Did you mean to quote me? You didn't address any of the points I made.

will be considered as the best era ever

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!

Tyson Fury is the future of the HW division after Wlad retires. He will probably end up fighting Joshua for a vacant belt, and after boxing him senseless, he'll move on to Joseph Parker and spark him cold.

The future is bright, the future is FURY!

2FAST is too fast.

6'9 with the speed of a featherweight.

I've never seen a big man with that kind of speed.

I can't see anyone beating him, only Wlad is 50/50.

Yep, he's a freak of nature. Look how fast he is compared to big stiff idiots like Ustinov & Wach. Massive engine at well, he doesn't get tired unlike Wlad who has to resort to leaning & clinching his opponents to catch his breath.

Credit for keeping it up

I don't know what will happen, but if no one has beaten Wlad at almost 39 then it would end up being a bigger joke then it is now. Wlad took over HW boxing after Lewis retired at 37 and no one then was able to beat Lewis. I mean had Wlad challenged Lennox when he was king, he would have left in an ambulance at 2 rounds max.

That's outrageous. No they wouldn't. Now if Wilder KO Wlad............Americans will say he's legit and he would be. But if Wlad retires and Wilder KO a bunch of Euro Bums like Pulev and Povetkin, nobody will say he's the next Ali. That's absurd.


I have watched a lot of old Lennox Lewis fights recently. I'm telling you right now. Forget Lennox................I would pick Prime TONY TUCKER to give Pulev/Povetkin/Haye a very good fight. Probably even beat them. And they are Wlad's top wins...............

Think about it. The 6'5 rangy Tony Tucker that Lennox and Tyson beat up on would probably trouble Povetkin and maybe even beat him............That's how bad Wlad's resume is.

Just because you sleep with 100 ugly girls don't make you a stud.
