    Yep. Definetly a lot more interesting (and mainly entertaining) now that Wlad has lost. And that's not me writing Wlad off, I'm just saying the division is better with him being a contender instead of continuing on the long reign he had.

      And I didn't even mention Anthony Joshua or Joseph Parker. They will make some noise in the future as well.

      I consider David Haye to be part of the old guard, not one of the fresh faces. But his presence does add to the fun factor, he usually makes for exciting fights as long as he isn't fighting Klitschko.

        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.
        And David Haye is back in the mix. None of these guys are master technicians but their vulnerabilities make the matchups more intriguing.

          True, none of them are what we would consider to be classically great heavyweights. The ones that come closest in terms of technique are Luis Ortiz and Joseph Parker in my opinion.

          But it's going to be entertaining to see them all fight it out for the belts and to see who comes out on top in the end.
