    Do you enjoy this HW era more than the Klitschko era?

    Overall in terms of enjoyment?

    It is a very competitive era.

    The Kiltschko's had some distance between themselves, and other competitors 'They had a aura of invincibility' they created their own empire.

    Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder all seem beatable.

    I probably still enjoyed the Kiltschko era a tad more, only because I was a keen supporter of David Haye 'Good times'.

        Of course. More competitive fights, bigger personalities. Less boring styles.

          It's far from technically the best but it's very competitive and entertaining. No real domination. I always thought Wilder had a decent chance to beat Joshua and become undisputed but I give joshua a decent chance to beat Fury. Styles make fights.

            Yes

            In the klitschko era we had years and years where the best contenders were guys like Chris Areolla, Sam Peter, Chagaev etc.

            They were all short plodders, basic, it was just awful, the best challenger of that 10 years was David Haye who was truly a cruiserweight.

            I shake my head at people saying this is the worst era because seriously, look at this list

            Fury
            Joshua
            Wilder
            Usyk
            Parker
            Dubois
            Yoka
            Hrgovic
            Hunter
            Ruiz jr

            Like, come on that's a list of 10 damn good names there you have seasoned champions and a bunch of great prospects, and I didn't mention any past prime veterans who are still useful on that list.

            Back in the klitschko era we were begging for guys like the above to come along, when Wlad was fighting a 40 year old Sam Peter again because he was the best option.

            I mean people hyped Areolla and Eddie Chambers as the best possible prospects, a budget sandy Ruiz and Michael hunter were the number one prospects

              The Lamon Brewster era is very underrated. The Brewster that beat Wladimir the first time and knocked Golota out was something else and I enjoyed those fights very much.

              This era isn’t great but Fury has all the ability to become great. He just needs to get back in that ring with any of the top guys. Another beat down of Wilder would be nice.

                And Brewster-Liakhovich was such an invisible classic.
                Damn that was 1 of the top 5 heavyweight fights of the millennium

                  Absolutely, looking back this will talked about as the silver era of the heavyweights!

                  You got so many different quality of styles and good
                  Match ups that have yet to be made!

                  Look at these match ups that could happen...

                  Fury vs Joshua

                  Wilder vs Ruiz Jr

                  Ortiz vs Parker

                  Hrgovic vs Yoka

                  Hunter vs Dubois/Joyce winner

                  Povetkin/Whyte 2 winner vs Usyk/Chisora winner

                    Hickey you always used to be such a good realistic meticulous poster..What's happened to you over the years that I wasn't posting. ...Brought yourself down low to the level of most of the others it seems. The Peter-W. Klitschko fight 1, was fought when Peter was 25. The Peter-Vit. Klitschko fight was when Peter was 28, and the Peter W .Klitschko 2 was when Peter was 30, and the #1 contender.
