Fighters who had no good boxers available during their primes

Wlad Klitschko.

GGG - though now he is getting the chance against good fighters.

Incorrect with Roy Jones. He fought a hungry young Hopkins, Toney, Tarver when he himself was passed it.

Hopkins had a pretty weak division.

Stop the hating The Klitschko's and Roy Jones just made others look like bums they were just that good. The Klitschko controlled the division for 10 years you are going to tell me there were only bums fighting for 10 years get the F out of here. The Klitschko were boring like Floyd but at least they got the knock out . Roy Jones had incredible speed that made others look slow as Phuck

There were only bums in the 00's HW scene. As soon as A level fighters like Wilder, AJ, and Fury showed up the Klitschkos lost, Vitali as well to an old Lewis. The fact is both bros lost to the ONLY A level fighters they ever fought.

Who was the best HW outside the Klit bros that the division produced? Sam Peter? He was one of the most dangerous and best heavies of the Klit bros era and that dude got schooled by James Toney in their 1st fight that is how bad the division was. Who else, blown up cruiser Haye that arguably lost to Valuev? Valuev was another guy, arguably lost to Holyfield & Ruiz. There is not a single contender from that era that was better than Wilder, AJ, Tyson Fury, Ortiz, Parker, Hughie Fury, or even Breazeale.

Mayweather. Floyd never fought an elite fighter in his prime. Mayweather was best WW of his era but it was a mediocre one, not Floyd's fault but that's the fact.

Larry Holmes.

The reason why is cause if one brother couldn't get the job done, the other one did. It was dominated by a 2 headed dragon instead of 1. Plus people are salty that it was dominated by an eastern country. HW has had many years of worse competition and the dudes that dominated it have been praised.

Who did they dominate against, though?

Lamon Brewster? Sam Peter? Eddie Chambers? Marius Wach???

It was a **** era.

During his prime Ali and Norton were on their way down. Shavers was a hitter but not a very good boxer. It wasn't until he was on the downside of his prime that he lost to Spinks. Unless you want to make a case for Cooney and Cobb?

Looking at other decades of HW boxing, the fights weren't that much greater either based on the same standard. The 90s were decent but can you say the same about the majority?

There was Mike Weaver, Ken Norton Tim Witherspoon, Carl Williams. They were all pretty solid fighters.

I have been a boxing fan a long time and I have never seen a time when there weren't good boxers in every weight class. If a particular weight class seems weak new good boxers soon come along to make it strong again.

Ricardo " Finito " Lopez . Only guy around ( Rosendo Alvarez ) gave him a draw in one of their two fights .
