    Uh....no. Not really. I will give them credit for being dominant and conducting themselves like champions and kudos to their promoters because their events certainly looked like championship affairs; but the fights were dull and non-competitive. If they'd had some real tests in there, maybe; but I just can't miss an era where the outcome of the fight was essentially a forgone conclusion.

    you are right those were nothing like fury vs pajkic, hammer, pianeta, or his wars with greats like seferi, schwartz, wallin , not sure why they had to give tickets away and arenas were still half empty.

    Did Arreola not also pop dirty? Did he not in fact have his last fight before Wilder changed to a NC because of it?

    Terrible era in both quality and entertainment. Wlads reign has a huge asterisk next to it, with the deck stacked massively against every opponent in Germany. Vitali lost to both elite opponents he faced and doesn’t have a signature win. Both get smashed in the current era.

    Not really. Not because of him, more because he didn't have many worthy adversaries for most of his reign.

    You kinda answered your own question. He popped for Travis , not Wilder.

    Not to mention that Fury tested positive for steroids close to Wlad fight.
