This is true. Ike Ibeabuchi went 12 hard full rounds in a Slugfest with David Tua who was a devastating puncher. Yeah, I agree. Ike would've probably been the one if he wasn't jailed.
For me and I know pretty much almost all people in America, I never warmed to the Klitschko's. Not exciting, not appealing as you say. People here were not interested in them. Thus no PPV fights here in America, Lennox Lewis was the last to be on PPV here regularly.
I like the new crop of Heavyweights. Joshua, Wilder, Parker, Ortiz, Big Baby Miller, etc....
I'm hoping these guys can bring the Heavyweights back to respectability. Even though I still don't rate them with the 90's era of Holyfield, Lewis and Tyson. At least there's competition now. Where with the Klitschko's competition never existed because the Heavyweight division was in it's worst state in history. Void of depth, talent and competition.
