    The glamour division/pinnacle of boxing??

    You often hear heavyweights say ”When the heavyweight division is on fire, the whole sport of boxing is on fire”

    Does anyone know ?

    Is it because of Lennox Lewis vicious knockouts ??

    Because heavyweights big and strong. Human like big strong men beat eachother. Much better than stick men.

    Because they are the ultimate specimens.

    They could take on a division of men all in one go.

    We want to see a man who can knock out a horse (Wilder)
    We want to see a man who can survive a nuclear blast with ease (Fury)
    We want to see a man who is basically a model whilst pretends to be a fighter(AJ)

    Fury created boxing. He dictates when the division is on fire

    I would. And I would watch crawford vs spence 10000 times before ussyk vs fury. Hands down, no doubt at all.

    I find HW mostly boring. They cant throw ****, 4 punches and they are exhausted. They bore me to death, I can only stand very very very very good fights. Average/mediocre HWs fights are a torture.

    Because if there was no weight caps they would rule boxing with ease???
    On street also no one ask you what weight category you are...
