Overall in terms of enjoyment?
Do you enjoy this HW era more than the Klitschko era?

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'.Last edited by PRINCEKOOL; 10-25-2020, 06:16 PM. -

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.Comment

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 prospectsComment

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.Comment

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.Yes
