    The underlined is a sweeping statement.

    Would you say that nobody today could possibly lose to the men who beat Carnera?

    Today's HW division sucks balls.

    The only skilful guy left is Povetkin and he's pushing 40. You have muscle-job AJ who's done OK, and he's the pick of the bunch right now but he doesn't blow me away. There's a long drop off from these two to Parker and Wilder. Parker seems solid but Wilder seems a punch away from losing every fight.

    So: 4 HW's that could be deemed "good" and after that it's pretty much B, C and D level garbage all the way.

    I think Old Foreman could pick up a strap by beating the bejesus out of Charr easier than he did back in the day.
