    This era has Vitali AND Wladimir! Also many good contenders like Pulev, Povetkin, Fury or Haye. Also the second guard with boxers like Boytsov, Price, Jennings, Scott, Wilder is not bad at all.

    It's average. There hasn't been many truly great HW eras - if only the top 2 fighters weren't Brothers and could fight each other Things would open up a bit more.

    It might actually look better if the Klitschkos weren't dominating it for so long.

    There's the 1970's and than there is every other era. This era is no better or worse than any other era.

    I disagree. Real boxing fans judge by talent activity and the best being willing to fight the best. If this isn't the worst ever it is right up there amongst the worst.

    The klits have nothing to do with the other top fighters not fighting each other.

    Cunningham fights Fury.
    HAye will fight other top contenders in order to get mandatory fast. Lets see who Poevtkins fights. Lets see who Pulev fights. Price fought TT. Chisora fought many top contenders.
    Dont say todays fighters all duck each other ALL the time. This is just not true.:patsch

    Chisora is a journeyman and Fury and Cunningham have beat nobody worth noting. Next.

    You said the contenders dont fight each other. Yet Cunningham and Fury are fighting! Povetkin fought many other contenders! Chambers (unbeaten) or Chagaev. Also Pulev is in search for an opponent for the mandatory position. Haye will fight a Top 15 fighter. Povetkin will maybe fight soon. Arreola fights Stiverne for the mandatory position.
    You are just wrong if you say the contenders dont fight each other. Maybe they dont fight very often against each other but at a certain point they have to fight! If they want to get mandatory they have to fight!
