I promise you its not a weak HWT era

It's just a false perception that snowballed into popular opinion. But it's pure falsehood.

You never hear any pundit say Tiger Woods rules because it's a weak era of golfers. THey like Tiger. You never hear the Williams sisters dominate cuz it's a weak era of female pro tennis players.

You never hear it's a weak era of 100 meter sprinters now that Usain Bolt is so amazingly dominant, winning the Olympics 100 and 200 by like 10 yards.

But for HWT boxing all we seem to hear from pundits is, Oh it's just a weak era. That's why the robotic Klitschkos are on top. Just wait till someone comes along that can pressure them and touch that chin and it wil be over.

But it's a figment of the imagination of the blindly ignorant and negatively misinformed. Atlas, Toney, Sugar, Hauser, and every boxing beat writers who says and writes (and there's a lot of them) it's a weak era is wrong, they are all WRONG.

How is HWT boxing called in a weak era, but no other sport is ever criticized in the same way? Only HWT boxing gets that bulljive.

There is no such thing as a weak era in any boxing division or the HWTs. The stakes are huge, everyone trains everyone wants to be the best, but it's simple - no one can unseat the brother kings on the throne, they tried but they failed.

The dominant style is now the Eastern European style, the balance of power has shifted to E. Europe. They dominate the Americans now. Dimitrenko is dangerous. Boytsov coming up. Something is wrong with the US amateur program & coaching and the poor media coverage amateur boxing gets. US amateur boxing is less popular than MLS soccer or arena football.

And a consequence is that Hwt boxing is down in popularity in the US because sports fans have read and heard over and over how weak HWT boxing is now. US hwts are just inferior now to E Europeans.

Bottom line is the popularity and recognition factor of the top 10 HWT contenders to the US market is way down. Their talent is actually not down, but it's the perception that it is.

in the supposed golden era of Ali there were lots of dull fights, But everyone thinks every fight was basically like Manila. That era is glamorized by nostalgia. Ali Young and Evangelista Dunn, Coopman Mildenberger were horrible as bad as Klitschko-Ibragimov. Larry Holmes Leroy Jones was a joke.

But the actuality, the bottom line truth is HWT boxing is fine, as it always is. Just the characters have changed. And if the US media was more positive about covering HWT title fights and celebrated the Klitschkos for the amazing athletes and story they have created, rather than ***** about how what a weak era it is, boxing would be much more popular and would be covered more in the mainstream.

HWT boxing is never in a weak era. the moments before HWT fights are always electric experiences. 65,000 people paid to see Klitschko live. That's more than ever saw Ali live. the media has to wake up from their negative ignorance and be more positive in its coverage of HWT boxing.

 

Boxing has become a fringe sport now in the US. The TV dates are dwindling. There are just not that many boxers who are well known, in any division. and even boxing fans don't know who is the best as there are so few unified champs. it's all confusing. But there is lots of talent out there. Cotto and Clottey and Mosley would be competitive with the 80s welters. Klitschkos, Dimitrenko, Haye, Chagaev, Arreola, Chambers would be competitive with 80s hwts.

 

every era has hwts that have blubbery physiques but it's misleading. LeRoy Jones, Tony Tubbs, Buster Mathis, Chambers, Peter, Toney, Witherspoon, Kirk Johnson, they are all the same basically.
