Do you think we will have great Heavyweight fights like this any time soon?

    I won't blame the Klits, fights like this disappeared when Lennox took the reigns, but damn. Do you think we will see the HW equivalents of Bradley - Provodnikov or Rios - Alvarado any time soon.

    It is a shame that you can arguably call the Heavyweight division the worst division in boxing.

    That is an all time classic slugfest and a really high standard to set. We might not get another Foreman/Lyle, but we should get some entertaining HW fights soon.

    Arreola is a war waiting to happen, he just needs the right dance partner. Povetkin looks solid, I can see him in a slug fest.

    We don't even have to have a Lyle - Foreman, but damn can we have an exciting fight. I mean it is a shame that I think only low guys like Bryant Jennings can give us exciting fights.

    Lewis-Mercer
    Lewis-Golota
    Lewis-Briggs
    Lewis-Vitali
    Lewis-Bruno

    were all very entertaining fights.

    I personally enjoy Lennox Lewis fights more than Muhammad Ali fights.

    You need to open your eyes and see how exciting Lenny was.
    Boxing sure misses LL and his brH

    The Klitschko brothers have had over 100 fights & only one of them was great.

    The contenders seem unwilling to face each other & generally don't produce great fights when they do.

    Since Lewis retired there have only been 2 great HW fights, Brewster-Liakovich & Povetkin-Huck.

    Yeah Brewster and Liakovich was an excellent fight, wasn't impressed with Huck - Povetkin.

    Awesome fight, kinda how I see Charr-Haye going. :deal

    That vid is great. Check out 6.58 for the most relaxed commercial you'll ever see by the Nevada State farming commission. :lol:

    Chris Arreola vs. Bermane maybe a great fight.

    Or it may not.

    It is the only HW fight I"m hyped for this year.
    Wish Chisora would fight some Americans, he could have some great fights, especially Chisora v. jennings.

    I think this is pretty dumb to say. I watch the Klitschko bros for skill not a slugfest. If I wanted a sloppy slugfest ill watch toughman or mma.

    I'd be surprised if he didn't have visa problems because of his criminal record

    Neither of the Klits show much skill. Wlad is a hug monster, he showed that when he had that fight after the Joe Louis documentary against Sultan and got kicked out the US. LOL.

    Vitali shows more "skill" but that is mainly against subpar competition, we saw what happened when he fought a trully skilled fighter in Byrd.

    Szpilka v Mollo was fun and although it was messy and sloppy and wild Kimbo v Tillyard was enjoyable.
