    It seems like the Heavy weights are getting bigger and taller now wach, fury , price, deontay, Valuev, helenius, with the correct dedication, and time the gap is narrowed between the Klitscho so height is not purely an advantage now, just boxing ability stamina and power!

    which are all ten times more important that just height...

    still a huge gap...

    just accept that the KBros are the sheet!



    speaking of HW prospects, how do you fancy Charla Nash's chances against Wlad if she gets a few more fights? She's already been mauled by a chimp, could Wlad do any more damage?

    It is crazy. It's not about being athletic nomore. It's how big you are. Britains two best heavyweight's are 6 ft 9(Fury) and 6 ft10(David Price)

    It is not "evolution" if they are going backwards.

    Size may be increasing but there has never been a less talented crop of heavyweights than there is right now. The only skilled heavyweight around today is Wlad. An incredibly poor division. It is by far the weakest division, talent wise, in the sport today and comparing the average level of talent to previous eras, it ranks very poorly there too.

    I will take skill over size any day.

    they are all bums!

    the D-evlution of heavyweight should be the title . . . the division is regressing by the minute . . . what happened to skill?

    some have skill.some have power.some have both..its the same as any other era..just because there alot of big names like there used to be.heck if the k bros didnt dominate and had full on wars with people people wouldnt be saying its lacking in anything...big george is a big name because he kod alot of tin cans had a war with ali and beat a few other boxers...if wlad went life and death with guys in a trailogy say for example the guy he had them with would be another big name today thus his fights with other guys would install other big names which would lead to so called depth..utter ballix if you ask me..youve got 2 boxers heads and tails above everyone else..then uve got the chasing pack who wont fight each other like they used to instead want to fight c level fighters untill they get a big money shot and a k bro..problem isnt talent.the problem is promoters being greedy ****ers milking there assets to get a title shot..

    well wach, fury, and helenius are 3 huge "prospects" of varying degrees of promise (don't know much about wilder or price) and that's more than i can recall there's been in the past. The gap hasn't narrowed yet because neither of the Klits have fought any other 6'6 or so monsters (save Lewis). If the trend continues and there's more and more natural 250 pounders, you gotta consider realligning the lower weight classes to extend cw to like 210 (so your typical 6'3 225 lber has an option to fight guys closer to his own size)
