    What's All This Talk About Heavyweight Being Terrible? Best its been for 15 Years.

    The Klitschko v Joshua fight was the first elite heavyweight fight since Lewis vs Vitali. You could argue Wlad vs Haye, but Haye wasn't an elite heavyweight, cruiserweight yes, but not heavyweight.

    I'm not sure why people keep saying its a **** division, considering what came before it. I see a lot of people underestimating Parker too, who is a very good fighter, Hugie Fury would give most heavyweights problems, including Wilder and Joshua.

    The situation with Ortiz is not a good look, but if he genuinely has an exemption as he claims it could be a misunderstanding.

    Jarell Miller is interesting, so is Ruiz. Whyte, Takam, Chisora and Pulev look like good gatekeeper fringe contenders.

    Even with the loss of Wlad and Fury, ok its not exactly the 90's, but its better than its been for the whole of the Klitschko era. Plus we are building towards a genuine super fight in Joshua-Wilder.

    I agree. Heavyweight has some good fighters and it's interesting. AJ and Wilder are very good. Ortiz seems good but he failed his drug test. That big baby guy seems good to. Heavyweights is OK to me.
