    Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano & Larry Holmes all fought in worse eras then today's. Check some of their opponents for proof. If someone like Tex Cobb were selected as a title defense for either Klitschko all hell would break loose.

    Dimitrenko? No way. He doesn't have the will to win, as was evident against Chambers and he isn't naturally talented like the Klitschkos. Even the version of Wlad that showed up in his losses would not have lost the way Dimitrenkolost to Chambers.

    Haye said he wants to retire at 30. So i predict this will be a dead and forgotten division.

    I think Boytsov is most likely

    Vyacheslav Glazkov, Kubrat Pulev, & Rakhim Chakhiev are all very talented amateurs who all made their pro debut recently. Wouldn't be suprised to see a couple of them as serious players down the line.

    Just because he doesn't see him as HW champ doens't mean he hates him. I see the same thing, to many other good boxers with better skill sets that are coming up the ladder.

    I can see Manny Pacman getting another belt after roasting a big fat Mexican looking fighter?, i cant quite see who it is, but he seems to be crying like a baby.

    5 years from now?

    Both Klitchkos will be retired, same with Valuev, Ruiz, Meehan, Austin, Maskaev, Toney, Rahman, Tua, Golota, Briggs, Ibragimov, Chagaev.

    Guys like Povetkin, Boytsov, Solis, Arreola, Camarelle, Chad Dawson, Dimitrenko, Hamer, Wilder, Seth Mitchel, Pulev, Adusalaramov, and possibly Timurziev, will be making noise.
