Its decent. Wlad has defended against some viable threats like Haye and Povetkin, and will do so against a couple more like Pulev and the winner of Stiverne-Wilder. And big Joshua is on the horizon.
A bunch... Byrd/Golota Sanders/Vitali Brewster/Wlad I Brewster/Meehan Brewster/Krasniqi Brewster/Liakhovik Wlad/Peter I Toney/Peter I Chambers/Povetkin Rahman/Oleg II Povetkin/Huck Adamek/Walker Cunningham/Fury Cunningham/Adamek II Cunningham/Mansour Povetkin/Takam ..etc. ..etc.
Good tear ups, dont really mean "great fights" Meehan-Brewster wont exactly go down in the annals of history. Or Cunningham-Mansour. I mean you get good scraps ion friday night fights, but they're hardly "great" Uusally it requires 2 elite fighters. It would be like calling Guererro-Kamegai a "great fight"
If you define "Great fight" as a meeting between 2 elite fighters (Champions, top 10, very popular fighters) that is also entertaning, that is of your opinion. We still have had plenty of those. I believe the phrase you are looking for is actually "historical" Brewster/Meehan was a title fight. And Cunningham/Mansour was the former Lineal Cruiser Champion and an undefeated fighter looking to break out. It was a very dramatic world class fight, hardly a good scrap.
I thoroughly enjoyed that and its made me a Guerrero fan. I hope that japanese dude moves on to bigger things too, hes got a bombproof chin (or Guererros featherfisted)
Hey, dont blame me. Your boy Freedom is obsessed with me and keeps bumping threads from years ago. :nut
It's terrible because all of the most talented HWs aren't boxing. They are playing basketball or football. So the talent pool is a joke.
It's fine, top contenders just need to continue to fight each other. Povetkin-Takam was a great start, and even Cunningham-Mansour, though the level was lower, was an entertaining fight with real stakes. Make the fights and people will see the talents there.
