Do you consider the heavyweight division one of the least talented division?

    I'm loving the heavyweight division right now.

    The two best credentialed fighters in it are Joshua & Wilder who may both have glass jaws.

    That gives everyone else a chance.

    Go that big Kiwi!

    If it were that bad, any of the WBSS top fighters would've said F the hornet's nest that comprises that tournament field and moved up for the bigger paydays and higher prestige that comes along with being HW champ IMO.

    Some truth here. With Wlad retiring and Fury basically the same it does create a vacuum of talent. It's not a strong division and wilder's defenses have been pathetic choices so far.

    When was the greatest heavyweight era?

    How much strength in depth did it have?

    How many of those fighters were around the same sort of stages in their careers?

    How many were in their primes at the same time?
