    Eddie Hearn has done so much damage to this Heavyweight era. I doubt these fights will ever happen.

        I think we get Wilder vs. Fury II in early 2020! I have no idea when we get Fury vs, Joshua, or Wilder vs. Joshua! The glass is 1/3 full.

          Greed or greatness.excellent topic by boxingscene.you kinda have to go by the individual not the hw division as a whole.like deontay for instance he's chasing a legacy and Joshua chasing the money.two different great examples

            If we end up with some great heavies in 5 years, and they actually fight each other, the current era will be remembered as a period when 3 overrated slobs strung the fans along for years on end.

              It will be remembered that fighters wanted unreasonable demands of 60% and 50% , even getting 50% saying they don't want Joshua and even non title holders guaranteed highest pay days running from him and they will look like fools even when Joshua defeats them .The era itself has already out shined most and many big fights to be made with or without Fury and Wilder avoiding Joshua.

                Your boxing knowledge is less than average if you are stating this era has outshined most. I mean literally extremely low boxing knowledge.

                  We will remember that politics in boxing prevent great fights from happening.

                    Certainly not greatness, pretty obvious its greed , a blind man can see that , mediocrity trying to pass off through social media outlets as something special, great fighters and trainers must glad their not witnessing today's media circus .
