The era will be over soon, it only existed because Wladimir Klitschko had a blueprint how to beat the smaller guys. Now that he is slowly out of the picture the cruiserweights will slowly start to move up and regain the titles. There are cruiserweights who could beat even the likes of Wilder and Joshua right now. Heavyweight is one of the shallowest and the least talented divisions in boxing. Cruiserweights are far better fighters and can destroy the heavyweights even with the weight disadvantage. I can't wait to see Usyk putting a boxing clinic on all those slow behemoths.
Tyson Fury is/was 6/9 which gave him an advantage against Wlad who always was bigger than his opponents? Deontay Wilder is a giant which is why I fancied him to beat Povetkin,AJ is equally as big in height but is thicker set than Wilder all over,we've seen with Price that it doesn't always count for much but overall I think history has shown that a good big en beats a good smaller man,not sure why you think he super heavy weight guys are over?
Yeah can't wait for it,Gassiev has mentioned moving up in time,I still wanna see what David Haye can do against the big guys,the video of him sparring Wilder shows he has no problem apart from Wlad who often just leans on his opponents and in Povetkins case throws them around the ring?
Please, if cruiserweights could beat hws they'd be campaigning in the division. You know, to make way more money? Fact is, any of the top shws would absolutely destroy any cruiser. Usyk, who is so over hyped by you anti size people I've been forced to look forward to being exposed, would get killed by AJ etc. And no, beating a few less experienced shws in the amateurs is not proof that he will transcend size in the pros. Sorry, shw era is going no where people.
SHWs are slow and stiff, they can't move and have problems with even basic boxing fundamentals. The HW division is the most shallow in all of boxing, there simply aren't many people in the world who can box at 240+lbs. For a while, Wlad had the perfect plan and style to trouble the cruiserweights but other than him I don't see anyone else doing it from the current crop. Usyk and the CWs moving up will reign the HW division soon.
If what you say is true, why have HWs got heavier and taller throughout the decades? From the dawn of the sport, HWs have consistently got bigger and taller and despite this, you make a case which flies in the face of all the facts you have to hand. Of course there will be the odd exception - Mike Tyson was 5' 11'' - but the exponential trend is clear and undeniable... This guy explained it best... http://ste.india.com/sites/default/files/2015/04/21/348903-dd.jpg
Cruiserweights are the best fighters and always will be. The consensus best HWs in history are cruiserweights and the next best thing Usyk is also a cruiserweight. Look at what Marco Huck did to Povetkin and how much problems Fury had with Cunningham who is not even a top 10 CW. Just wait until Usyk and Gassiev move up. Would love to see Haye fight Joshua as well, he would KO him. Heavyweights are a disgrace, bunch of fat out of shape fighters with seriously questionable boxing skills and people suffering from gigantism. Wladimir Klitschko was the only athletic SHW and he folded against the other SHW when his one dimensional style didn't work.
