    The heavyweight division is becoming fun again

    Wilder and Fury aren't exactly the most talented heavyweighs I've ever seen...but they are bringing some excitement back. Couldn't tell how good Charles Martin is off of tonight's performance but he adds novelty to the mix as well.

    And then there's Luis Ortiz who actually does flash greatness.

    It's fun to watch this unfold. Honestly the worst thing that could happen right now is to have Klitschko win the rematch and Povetkin to beat Deontay. The division needs these fresh new faces not Wlad vs Sasha 2.

    I hope Luis Ortiz vs. Charles Martin is coming up.

    The Cuban would make short work of him and grab that IBF belt.

    Then, hopefully Wilder vs. Fury at the end of the year. Winner faces Ortiz.

          Ortiz is ranked #1 by the WBA but they have Ruslan Chagaev fighting Lucas Browne for the "regular" championship.

          Tyson Fury is the WBA "super" champion.

            The HW division is definitely fun to watch because we don't know who the true leader is. The divison is so wide open now and there are several interesting fighters and match-ups.

              That it is. Lots of interesting fights to be made. When the heavyweight division gets healthy, the sport itself gets more popular as well.

                  Agree. I've been slowly but surely putting more interest in the up & coming HW's cuz I've been feeling like Klitschko's end was coming & I know it was here when he signed to fight Fury. Now we got 5 or 6 higher level undefeated HW's who are gonna make the division compelling for awhile for a change.

                    Agree--- i knew it would shape up in 2015--2016. The man I see the most talent in right now is Ortiz...and Haye is back.....we have some great fights comin up boys !!!!!!
