Uneducated ignoramus.
Go and actually watch these great fighters kid. Boxrec can't teach you everything!
If HW boxing is so great today why do NONE of these guys have one legit win between them? Take all the HW's on that list what's the best win any of them have? A 41 year old inactive Wlad coming off a loss? Stiverne?
Compare that to say Ali's resume for example. Now that ain't revisionist history kid that's just FACTS!
Learn your history cause you've just been schooled.
Their resumes being "poor" is your opinion. Guys like Chuvalo were famous for being glorified punching bags.
The original "Brown Bomber" got put down by an obese 5'9 230lb, alcoholic, cigar smoking Tony Galento FFS:

I ask you, in what reality could this happen to the modern Bronze Bomber, Wilder, and he be taken seriously?
If Wilder or Joshua were knocked down by a 185lb fighter that doesn't even hit as hard as most modern cruiser weights they'd be a laughing stock.
Just like they'd be laughed at for losing against McCall, Purrity, Douglas etc.Comment

Lewis was in the tail end of his prime when he lost to Rahman. He weighed in at 253lbs the 1st time, then came in at 246lbs the 2nd time.
Once he beat Tyson he completely lost all motivation, gained 7lbs of fat in 1 year and got up to 256lbs the heaviest of his career vs Vitali.
Now compare that to 240lb Wladimir Klitschko at age 41, the LIGHTEST he's been in around a decade.
This whole "Wlad was an old man like Lewis" is BS, he was in phenomenal shape, at the height of his experience and skills. And like I said, AJ beat his ass despite not being a full 4 years pro, had Wlad in survival from round 1.Last edited by Cutthroat; 11-08-2017, 06:46 PM.Comment

Louis' resume is slightly overrated, that's why I didn't list him but your trying to say wins over Baer, Schmelling, Walcott, Sharkey etc. don't matter just because Galento landed a fluke left hook. What happened next? Louis knocked him out in the very next round.Their resumes being "poor" is your opinion. Guys like Chuvalo were famous for being glorified punching bags.

Are you trying to say wins over Fraizer, Liston, Foreman, Folley, Patterson, Moore, Foster, Norton etc don't matter because Ali got dropped by a 190lb Henry Cooper (then got off the floor and won) 😂😂😂 your an idiot bro.
It's HW boxing people get tagged they get hurt but good fighters find a way to win. Is Wilder a bum cause he got tagged by Molina. Is AJ a bum cause he got tagged by Whyte? Look at the list of fighters Ali and Louis beat. Try and give me a list of who AJ and Wilder have beat in this "golden age" of HW boxing.
You clearly have no understanding of this sport, I could guarantee you haven't watched these fighters of the past, you just look at boxrec and judge and dismiss them without properly studying them as I said uneducated ignoramus.
You'll probably come back spewing more vacuous nonsense but you will not get a serious response from me- because your ignorance does not merit one.Comment

Just like they'd be laughed at for losing against McCall, Purrity, Douglas etc.So was it "prime Lewis" or an "out of shape old man". Keep contradicting yourself you cretin.Lewis was in the tail end of his prime when he lost to Rahman. He weighed in at 253lbs the 1st time, then came in at 246lbs the 2nd time.

Hardly a golden age. 2 decent fighters who Would be been destroyed by numerous past champions of the division. The rest of the division are guys like Whyte and Breazele, straight bumsComment

The division is poised for some major matchups which is always great.
Unfortunately, its missing its best fighter in Fury imo.... but, the public is more fascinated with Joshua v Wilder anyway so as long as that is on track to happen at some point then the division is much better than where it has beenComment
