"this is worst heavyweight division ever"

[2Shotz]

Forget the champions, the 2nd tier nineties hwys give this 2020 crop all they could handle. Mercer. Morrison. Briggs, Tua. Byrd. Rahman. Ibeabuchi.

What about the 2009

Title Vacant

6. Sultan Ibragimov
7. Samuel Peter
8. Oleg Maskaev
9. Juan Carlos Gomez

lol Povetkin from last era still in the top 10 and sparking out current top 5 guys at 40.

[*Makaveli*]

Give me this era over the Klitchkos any day .

[CharlieStewart]

It's funny how the division instantly becomes "weak" when Europeans are on top.

Exactly. Heavyweight division is arguably the best and most stacked in all of boxing, only reason this isn’t universally recognised is because the only American hope got battered.

Preach bro...

[boliodogs]

By the way

Anyone in the top 10 now beats anyone from 2-10 in either of those years, Fury beats any version of either klitschko and AJ and Wilder are toss ups against either klitschko

Deal with it

I don't have to deal with BS and your statement is BS. The prime K brothers were better than any heavyweight fighting today. You deal with that. Wlad only lost to Aj and Fury because he was 39 about to turn 40 and they were prime in their 20s.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Vitali would murder Wilder, lol. This is not even a question.

Klitschko brothers would still be top guys clearly, with Fury and Joshua as only competition.

[Marvlus Marv]

There hasn't been any strength in depth since probably the 70s. Who knows, maybe the new Bridgerweight will provide more thrills n spills... okay, maybe not

I think the early 2000's era (especially after Lennox Lewis retired) was worse than this one to be honest. You had Vitali and Wlad standing head and shoulders over everyone. It was so bad that Vitali retired due to injuries in 2004 and returned four years later to pick up right where he left off in dominant fashion.
