    Think about it even though the quality isn't there to beat the klitchkos, every other john in that division is beatable and knockoutable, Vitali's on his last throw of the dice, and there some nice heavies coming through who are going to slug it out and make it a great night for the fans, people pay to watch a fight only hardcore fans will be disappointed due to the lack of sweet science

    Once the K's are gone it will be a fairly even division. But whether that translates into it being a popular division might be another matter.

    They need to get back into shape. People know if they are watching top athletes.

    Fair point. There's some absolute slobs in the division at the present time.

    We need better matchmaking and the top contenders fighting each other more often rather than take the easiest route to a title shot they're not ready for.

    I've got my eye on David Price to make a name for himself in the next 12-18 months.
