The most glamorous division, heavyweight, is so bad that a guy was able to come back from being a 400-something pound drunk/coke head to take it over. One of the four other recent champions is a 300 pound fat guy. Another of the four recent champions can�t even box. One of the best boxers in the division and a consensus top five guy might be 60 years old

The next most glamorous division, middleweight, is ruled by a fighter who has arguably gotten FIVE gift decisions in recent years. That�s the guy most people feel is the best boxer in the entire world.

In the third most glamorous division, welterweight, the champion with the best resume is 147 years old.

The next best resume belonging to a champion at welterweight belongs to an alcoholic who has been too busy partying to focus on boxing.

The next most glamorous division, lightweight, is being ruled by a natural featherweight who could probably make 122 if he really wanted too.

The only two current fighters to actually become undisputed champions have no name victories on their resume.

For American Boxing YES! For The World? NO!

American Boxers have become extremely entitled like they're entitled to be the next Mayweather and Entitled to get paid like he did and to get the fame and attention like he has but without working as hard as he did

Seeing Tyson at 53 and Holyfield at 57 both look in better shape than 98% of the Heavyweights today it is Embarrassing actually!

hands down the worst era

I say no. This is perhaps the strongest era of boxing in two decades or at least since the 1990s; Especially in the Heavyweight division.

No one guy is ruling the division like Wladimir Klitschko did back in the mid 2000s through the mid 2010s. On any given night the titles can change hands at anytime.

It just only goes to show how highly competitive and hotly contested the Heavyweight division is and has become in the past 5 years since the end of the Klitschko era.

Act like Ali didn’t come back from prison to dominate the division.

That almost 300lbs guy would be top 10 in any era - he’s that good. I’d pick Ruiz in any weight to beat Tua silly and the likes of Ruddock, Morrison, Tucker, etc. I think Ruiz beats Bowe in his prime and will beat the Foreman the became champion in the 90s.

Boxing has a long history

Pep was in a airplane crash and returned and became champ

Foremen went away 10 years and became lineal champ

there have been god awful title holders through out the history of the sport..this is literally just another second in the grand sceme of this sport

It's a very strong era. only people with an agenda think otherwise. Saying this is a weak era does not make your favorite era any better.

Are you serious, ruiz might beat tucker. That is all, and Bowe would destroy him.
