    Worst era in boxing. Now is a good time in HW boxing. Lots of people to like and hate. people may hate Wilder , AJ, Fury etc but they get fans talking! The klit era had zero and I mean zero characters just awful awful awful. Glad its dead and gone.

    I enjoyed tuning into Klitschkos fights . He was an upstanding , professional guy. Displayed the sweet science at its finest

    Just because Fury is a big fat blob with barely any muscle mass doesn't mean he's not juiced. It means he's too lazy to lift weights or has bad genetics.

    That fight looked like a groping fest on a trampoline. The inside boxing , outside of bear hugging each other , consisted of wacking the backs of each others heads.

    Both Klitschkos have plenty of excitement fights with solid KOs. The problem is people remember the last they see from them and are crying about being boring.
    Boxing is not go straight with guard down and go for the KO, aka being a brawler like Chisora or Whyte for example.
    But by that logic, the last from certain fighters, what to said about Mike last matches?
    There is a very few HW, who was as good as both Klitschko was at the range of 30-37 years old with Vitali even older.
    Wlad style was more prone to wear, but he was in great shape almost till the end.
    Mark my words, Fury at just the age of 33-34 will looks like a complete s****.
    I don`t think Joshua will keep it longer than 34-35 as well.
