The war of the 5 champions.

That’s actually fu#king hilarious that Dominic deleted his social media accounts.

Still to early to say.

If we are asking the same questions in 2yrs as today than the potential greatness of this HW era has been missed.

That said I think even if the greatness of this era gets missed we will be quickly entering into another potential fun HW era cuz there are plenty of good HW prospects on the rise that some will become legit threats in the next couple years to challenge or suceed the current guys with title claims.

I like that Nigerian prospect. He looks calm in the ring, if not robotic in his approach. He takes his time in there and it looks like he’s well schooled.

I’m not even going to attempt to spell his name because I know I’d fu#k it up big time. He just fought maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago.

You know who I’m talking about right? You a fan of him?

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

I don't think YOU know that much about HW history if you don't think Wilder vs Fury, Fury vs Klitschko & Joshua vs Klitschko happening in the last few years of this era outshines most HW eras.

Feel free to disagree, but in your disagreement also show me the big fights like those 3 that happened in the same 3ish year period as these fights happened in in a lot of other eras. I got zero doubt there are better eras but most HW eras suck ass. And the thing is is we still got big fights & this next group coming up could extend the importance of this era or bridge into its own fun era of HWs.

Efe. Yea.

And there are a bunch of potentially bad ass guys on the rise still. It'll be fun seeing who keeps rising & who falls over the next couple years.

Are you talking "on-paper" match-ups because AJ V Klitschko was the only good fight of those three. Wilder v Fury was 98% horrible and Fury v Klitschko almost got me to quit watching boxing entirely. The current HW era has great potential, but it has not come close to being a great HW era yet. A great era needs more than great match-ups; it needs actual great fights. I think you're saying this largely because the Klitschko era was so frustratingly bad. The bar was so low (kicked to the floor really), that anything better seems like greatness.

Don't move the goalposts on me bro.

I'm saying this era is already better off of those 3 fights than MOST periods in HW history.

I'm not, nor was the person I was cosigning, saying its a great era in comparison to the Ali vs Frazier vs Foreman vs Norton days or the 90s.

Go look at the HW division over the years. Its a garbage division MOST of the time. Its almost always extremely top heavy to the point of the main title holder (or the champion further back) being the only person people care about til he gets upset.

I know this one greed

I've seen that "reported" everywhere but he still has twitter and instagram ... I'm not sure what he's supposed to have deleted. He even posted on instagram the day after the fight
