    I did a thread maybe in August about how there was only one HW contender fight featuring both HW's in the top 50 of boxrec's rating(Cunningham/Tarver), and how sad it was that the division was so dead in terms of good matchups. Now, we've got 6 fights I can think of off the top of my head: Wlad/Fury, Wilder/Povetkin, Joshua/Breazeale, Parker/Takam, Pulev/Chisora, Chambers/Washington (technically Haye/Grbaja would be in that category as well, but Grbaja is a boxrec inflated non contender). All of them are arguably better than the Cunningham Tarver fight.

    The division is really looking great now, with a lot of top fights.

    wlad vs fury - great match up

    wilderr vs povetkin - great match up

    joshua vs breazeale- complete nonsense breazeale is useless and got beaten but fred kassi who hughie fury is fighting

    parker vs takam - great match up

    pulev vs chisora - great match up

    chambers vs washington - great match up, but will be terrible to watch

    haye vs that guy - complete mismatch again by haye, aparently this guy was in the fury camp at one stage and Tyson used to beat him senseless with ease and was laughing at how bad he was, they didnt have him back
