The HW division today is as weak as it was in the Lennox Lewis era?

    I mean come on?

    Who did Lewis face in their primes?
    Never faced a Michael Moorer, Riddick Bowe, an old Foreman, Tyson or Holyfield before 1999 when he was 36.
    Instead he faced: Botha, Golota, Tua, Mavrovic, Grant, Briggs and other washed up opponent.

    I think the opponent is just as bad as the opponent the Klitscho Brothers are facing today.

    I didn't say u was a Klit fan.

    There's no feasible way any boxing fan can positively compare this HW era to the 1 that Lewis dominated. 'Fast' Eddie Chambers, 2 CW's in the top 5 in the division. It just doesn't make sense.

    Old Foreman? he beat better opposition than an old foreman! Tommy Morrison for one, was better than foreman at that time. Golota was out boxing bowe twice before the dqs, and they are not even his best opponents. He also faced a prime vitali.

    Never said you said I was one.

    yeah Botha who had already lost to Tyson?. Right

    Hahaha Morrison was a done deal back when Lewis got to him.
    Golota was also a joke. he outboxed an done Bowe.
    If Golota had faced a Bowe before the second Holyfield fight?
    He would got killed.

    Prime Tua alone would beat anyone out there today baring the brothers, though he may well even give Wlad some decent problems.
