Is this a terribly weak heavyweight era?

    Like I said you have an obsession ,one that will be wasted energy . Hearn isn’t fighting Fury , AJ will be win or lose . I’m not sure you guys can separate reality from fantasy at this point .,almost as bad as the Wilder fans tbh . :scared1

    AJ couldn't beat a 400lb cocaine abusing Fury.

    Roadman femi.

    I can assure you that all the mods on here are logical and real fight fans and you'll not find a better forum in all of cyber space than Boxing News 24. Granted I'm the only gypsy mod, though, six time winner of Poster of the Year, and a former European boxing champion.

    I'm thinking of making a comeback to ESB after being banned on Reddit after 8 years for being a Fury fan. Them mods are disgusting and don't know SHT about boxing.

    It is exciting, but we still have 40 year old Klitschko leftovers fighting for titles knocking all these new guys out.
    Even Helenius stopped the ring top 10 fighter yesterday. Pulev is fighting for a title and Povetkin is still kicking ass.
    Chisora is still here as well.

    I'm not ashamed to admit that I was sobbing uncontrollably with tears of joy by the time I got to the end of that. Beautifully said.

    In lots of divisions we have similar stories.

    At FW a fighter has hurry been declared legally shot at only 31 years old.

    At LHW one of the highest ranked fighters is an alcoholic who doesn't train.

    At WW, one of the highest ranked fighters is Pacquiao, a 40 year old fighter who was flyweight champion 21 years ago lol.

    At SMW the number 1 fighter in the world for a very fortunate decision against a man who never even stepped above domestic level.

    There's always going to be issues like these in boxing.

    However, there is not a fighter alive today who would be a favourite to beat Tyson Fury. Not one.

    I never venture over Reddit Way and I'm glad I never have after reading that. I bet they don't even have a token gypsy mod over there.

    It's by far the strongest the divison has been since Lewis.

    Don't let a couple of limited fighters (Kownacki & Wilder) who were very overrated and were exposed used to discredit the good fighters in the HWs ( AJ, Whyte, Usyk, Fury, Parker, Ruiz, Hunter, Povetkin, Pulev, Hrgovic, Bakole, Gassiev, Kabayel, Rivas, Chisora, Joyce & Dubois - is a strong divison)

    Its is weak. While Fury is clearly good, I think he's a KO waiting to happen once he faced a live body with skills who can punch and isn't old.

    Joshua to me is the cream of the crop, but he's not a Klitschko or Lewis, for certain.

    Wilder was massively over rated.

    The rest of the top ten is either old ir just not that good.

    HOWEVER, there is better talent on the way up, that much I'm sure of.
