Do the Klitschkos secretly wish they were cruiserweights?

    Fact: the HW division is empty.
    There are some 'pretty decent' fighters there, but the only really good (not even great) ones are the Klitschkos. And all the other HWs have either already been beaten by one (or both of) the Klitschkos, or won't face them since they know they will lose.

    That's why good former CWs and LHWs like Haye or Adamek can step up to HW and beat everyone there but the Klitschkos. They're not talented enough to beat the giant Klitschkos, but they're good enough to beat the others. They're more credible opponents for the Klits than the other HWs.
    That's also why former great HWs like Holyfield (who was a CW himself before stepping up to HW) can still hang around in todays division, at 47 years of age, without getting killed by the other HWs

    It's a shallow division, populated by blown up cruisers, and the the Klits. I agree that nobody wants to watch them fight cruisers, but there's not much to pick from in the heavyweight division these days. If Areola would stop pounding down the burritos and work on boxing instead of slugging, he would have a chance. Give Helenious another year and he might come knocking on the Klits door looking for a fight.
