I'm Watching Big george on Quite frankly and he made a great point about the HW div. It's not that the Div was better back in the day it's just that we where only able to see the best fights. Whereas now, we get to see all fights, including the weak ones.

the heavys back in the day were better......whats the best matchup of the heavys right now? whatever it is it cant compare to 60s 70s and 80s

the heavyweight division is only awful because they are inactive and do not fight each other.

this is a good post. very true. promoters are clinging onto thier titleholders to milk them for as much as they can. it's pitiful.

i think we would all like to see the top guys fight eachother and take some risks. wladimir klitschko has already initiated this by taking on samuel peter, offering james toney a fight, and calling out all of the other titleholders who are willing. he is willing to clean house, much like lennox did and like vitali would've had he stayed injury free.

problem is, you can't make a fight with only one guy. this is why i'm calling every beltholder besides klitschko a goddamn pansy. i'm really sick of this contentment to have only one belt. rahman doesn't seem to mind that he's fighting toney again after his mandatory(if he wins). lyakhovich fighting kevin mcbride does not even need to be commented on. who is valuev fighting next, a rematch with larry donald(who actually won the first time!)

here's something that just made me wanna puke - john ruiz is #1 mandatory for valuev's wba belt. wtf!!!!!

The division isnt as good because of a couple reasons. The first being the fact that they get bigger every decade. The bigger they get, the slower they are and less stamina they will have. These bug guys cant afford to throw a lot of punches or they will ware themselves down physically. The second reason is because like Max said, all the best athletes are playing football and basketball now.
