    Wilder , Fury, Haye, Stiverne.

    Action press conferences, action packed fights, competitive fights. :deal


    Let Wlad fight the Jennins of the world. He has bored the division to death for 10 years now. We want to see real fights, trash talk and bad blood.

    Think you forget about the insane inactivity you'll get from guys like Stiverne (King promoted, need I say more) and certainly Haye.

    And what prevents them from fighting eachother with Wladschko on top? you know they won't though.

    I like watching Wlad box, but yeah there could definitely be some fun madness when they retire.

    And we wonder why is boxing turning into WWE.

    Different people see things differently.

    Well I didn't see much crazy action in the wilder stiverne fight, and the action packed pressers didn't fill the stands. Nah I will stick with talent

    Between the bold we wouldn't have any Heavyweight fights, lots of posing, tweet battles, and cancellations.

    And Wilder/Stiverne was a 12 round stinker.

    Was the HW division better off without Larry Holmes?

    Only problem with Wlad is that he's not american. If he was from US, he'd be more popular than Floyd Mayweather.

    Tbh i do actually think if wlad retired the division would be so much better in terms of competitiveness.

    Haye? :lol::patsch:rofl

    When was the last time that clown fought? I don't care about how action packed a "press conference" is. That is ridiculous. I care about Savage KO's and Klitschko is about the only guy you listed delivering those against good competition.

    Fury can't punch and has been coddled. Haye is inactive retired. Stiverne is a good fighter. Wilder has promise.

    Wlad just obliterated the #1 contender in Pulev yet you want to see Tyson Fury go 10 or 12 rounds with an awful fighter like Derek Chisora? :huh

    I wouldn't call Wilder/Stiverne a stinker it had some action but yes could have been better. Wilder stuck to a gameplan when he realized he wasn't going to be able to KO Stiverne. Nothing wrong with that.

    You obviously weren't around when Wlad and Vitali were coming up on HBO.
