anyone else notice the hate on heavyweights?

i think if the heavyw8 division does get better its going to be in 5+ years not anytime soon

This is most definatly the lowest point in the division's histroy.

It's a crap shoot in title fights, and when Maskaev, Barrett, McBride and Briggs are all getting title shots withing months of eachother, it speaks louder than anything else about how ****ty things are.

Every 6 months for years I keep thinking it can't get any wrose, and then it does.

It's years away from being shaken up.

Couldn't have said it better. The HW division is ripe for any up and comer with some skill & class to dominate for a long time.Unfortunately I'm not sure one is on the horizon at the moment.The lower divisions are propping up the sport.

hw today sucks, slow boring and champions dont fight each other.

HW's these days look for the 1 punch KO. At least most of them are starting to come in some what decent shape. It seemed like for a while they were coming in all fat and outta' shape. Even Lewis was fat coming into the Klit fight. Corey Sanders was fat when he got beat by Vitali. Tony is still coming into fights overweight. To me HW's are for the most part boring. I like the 140 to 190 range. Lighter weights seem to have more skill with some KO power and definitely have more stamina. I hate a hug fest.
