    FAO of all promoters,give us these good fights,no excuses!:


    • Haye vs Vitali
    • Wladimir vs Arreola
    • Haye VS Adamek
    • Tarver vs Holyfield
    • Toney vs Chambers
    • Povetkin Vs Haye
    • Price vs fury
    • chisora vs boystov
    • Toney vs Tarver
    • Holyfield vs Chambers
    • chambers vs povetkin
    • arreola vs chambers
    • toney vs arreola
    • holyfield vs thompson
    • adamek vs chambers/tarver/toney/povetkin/holyfield.
    • Fraudley vs no one,fraudley finally retires!. :yep
    if even a quarter of these happened,than i would be some what satisfied.

    also the division needs a rule adding that they test every fighters body mass index,if anyone is clinically and clearly overweight/obese/morbidly obese, with too much body fat on them,that affects their performance,then they shouldnt be allowed big fights if any at all.

    Well tbh wlad is holding it back atm.

    Vitali vs solis, great fight
    Haye vs chag, meaningless but two top ten fighters
    Chambers v rossy is a good crossroad fight

    Would also like to see thompson v povetkin, adamek v valuev.

    Now wlad is fighting derek lol, makes me laugh just thinking about it. I would like to see wlad take on adamek, haye, povetkin, arreola, valuev.

    Pretty much anyone other than derek. I know povetkin turned him down, I am merely saying what I would prefer. He arranges fights with adamek and haye, then fights derek? Crazy it is.

    The guy might be a great, but he isn't starting the year off in a great fashion.

    The HW division is strong and healthy. America just dont follow the division as they dont have a big name winning in the division, but it actually has alot of talent and more on the way.

    You are instantly putting in regional American HWs who are a step down from the top of the division

    The division is weak and made worse by the fact that that the vast majority of the so called contenders are unwilling to fight each other.

    If a fraction of these fights were made it would go a long way to improving the poor opinion of this division.

    Toney? That guy is finished. He's done. Besides, he won't pass the morbidly obese stipulation. Neither will Arreola.

    Just give me a few bucks and FNF for a minute or 2.

    Week #1
    Travis Walker vs Damien Wills
    Chauncy Welliver vs Deonte Wilder
    Rich Power vs Elijah McCall

    Week #2
    Fres Oquendo vs Leo Nolan
    Darrel Madison vs Nagy Aguilara 2
    George Forman III vs Tyson Cobb

    Week #3
    David Rodriguez vs Manuel Quezada
    Dominic Guinn vs Devin Vargas
    Yuklap Saglam vs Faruuq Saleem

    Week#4
    Michael Grant vs Danny Williams
    Sam Sexton vs Javier Mora
    Martin Rogan vs Derek Bryant

    Obviously FNF budget would not carry these cards. I was impressed when they put Chambers vs Peter on there though. I think a month of HW fights on FNF like this would do the division some good. Well matched and competetive HW fights are still awesome....we just don't see that many of them anymore.

    I like this list. You'll take some stick for including some shot fighters though. I would like to see Haye-Adamek, I recon Haye would smash him but it would be really exciting.

    yeah,true holyfield toney and tarver are past thier best,but i just think they all still have some skills,and if they got in serious shape and trained hard,got good sparring,new trainers,maybe they could make good fights,be pretty equally matched,or atleast be entertaining in losing.

    Chambers already fought Povetkin, and I have doubts about Chambers beating Adamek.
