    I'm not suggesting Wlad has been in a ton of exciting fights in this time, I'm just really racking my brain thinking of the top heavyweight fights in this time that haven't involved a Klitschko.

    Povetkin-Huck comes to mind as one of the top ones
    Arreola-Adamek - I recall liking this a bit.

    Refresh my shot memory. Thank you!

    Both Szpilka's fights with Mollo were entertaining. Stiverne-Arreola wasn't bad.

    Cunningham-Fury was entertaining while it lasted, and Chisora-Fury was a very good HW fight. I liked Pulev-Dimitrenko and Chisora-Haye.

    Abdusalamov's fights are all-action and end with KOs.

    Thank you!

    I guess part of the reason I ask is trying to figure out an alternate universe where there were no Klitschko's, but I like the Klitschko's, just shows I have too much time on my hands...Keep em coming!

    Not including a Klitschko, but thanks for the other fights.

    Forgot about Rahman Maskaev, that was fun.

    Haye-Chisora certainly was one of the most anticipated and one of the biggest events.

    Good look. Also made me remember Brewster vs. Krasniqi and Meehan. Meehan randomly decided he could take BOMBS in this fight.

    Tony Thompson - David Price II was exciting

    Have there been any all American good heavyweight fights? Even half decent ones?

    Oops...forgot neither Peter or Maskaev are American:D

    Gotta give a shout to Briggs and Laikovich. Good scrap.

    As was Chambers Dimitrenko.
