Current HW division is pretty good

[croz]

Funny how things turned round, now the HW division has some of the more interesting potential match ups in the entire sport.

Wlad
Tyson Fury
Anthony Joshua
Deontay Wilder
Bryant Jennings
Mike Perez
David Haye
Joseph Parker
Povetkin
Mike Perez
Taishan Dong
Glazkov
Oleksandr Usyk
Pulev
Helenius
Szpilka
Hughie Fury

Seeing as the only interesting fights over the last decade involved the same two guys the division is really starting to heat up again.

That list hurts your point more than it helps.

No, no, no, no....He won't go far. You should add Andy Ruiz Jr to your list..I'll do it for you.

it has always been good. it's just that not a lot of americans have been paying attention anymore cause of having no belt/champion. as soon as deontay wilder won a belt, everyone started talking about heavyweight being "reborn" hahahahahahaha.

You forgot sweet mother Africa. Carlos Takam baby!

no, they didn't.
american casuals have no idea who deontay wilder is. wilder is a limited fighter without much experience. he does bring athleticism and power to a division that lacks it, but that shouldn'tt make him a star - and it hasn't.

and no, it hasn't
if you think this division of flabby, untalented HW is normal, that is on you.

many of the best HW in the 90's, seventies, were explosive, gifted athletes. most of them showed up in top shape, and remained active and sharp throughout their primes.

todays HW sit around and eat and wait for a phone call to get clobbered by wladimir klitschko. just look at his title fights in the past 5-10 years. if you think that those fighters are good, that is on you.

Looking at that, I'd say Wlad, Fury, Wilder and possibly Povetkin are good...even then these guys aren't always fun to watch and don't have great, eye catching styles. Add to that the fact that none of these men will face each other and just get in line for Wlad, it lessens the interest in the division.

Even if the quality is mediocre, if the "best" guys were fighting each other, we'd get a very good group of matches. But it's not happening, unless you count guys like Fury and Chisora who are willing to fight just about anyone and travel.

The rest of those names are jokes and AJ is a very raw prospect.

Really?

There are HWs today who are not flabby and untalented.

Other than Vlad,

Povetkin
Fury got in shape
Wilder
Glazkov
Jennings
Perez
Takam
Cunningham
Szpilka
Joshua
Parker
Helenius got in shape
Chambers

Time to stop the nostalgic fantasies and embrace a new, different looking division.

Ali and Fraizer were good but they were no match for the Klitschkos.

Just a better era, with better nutrition and training techniques. Get with the times.

It'll take another 10 years for the HW to recycle the garbage.. to be considered a great time in HW.

Sub- 147 is where its at. My favorite at the moment is 140
