Where the top 3 heavyweights wont fight each other?? Or even when the top 2 wont fight each other? It seems bizarre that we are in a situation where it has took 3 fighters to dominate the division - Surely this could implicate that boxing is a regressive sport which is dominated by tag teams. Imagine Rocky Marciano had a younger equally skilled brother.....now that would be some domination..
hmmm yes whether the reasons are seen as valid or not, we are at a standoff atm arent we. the top 3 wont be fighting each other. worse than that the top contenders wont fight each other, they seem content to sit on their ranking and await a mandatory shot.
And Lewis and Holy both fought Tyson. I think Bowe has set a precedent for the likes of Haye - By actively avoiding the biggest challenge, Haye, like Bowe, has enough half baked fans to actually bestow greatness on what he could of done while he blatantly avoids doing it in reallity.
Well I'd say that Bowe had about 10x more credibility by beating prime Holyfield and blasting out some others. Haye on the other hand, has wins over two of the arguably worst titleholders in hw history (one was 4 years past his 'reign') and a win over monte 'please don't knock me out' barret (sorry monte)
In all honesty, I think this Heavyweight division of today sucks...We dont even have a legit unified champ...We cant even get fan-favorite match ups because the challengers are either not taking the challenge serious enough or they're just flat out not trying to fight the champ for whatever reasons! IMO this HW division is pretty shitty!:-(
You can argue Lewis vs Bowe but at the same time Holyfield was in the mix and so was Tyson I wouldnt even think to look at the heavys of the 90's because the top 15 or 20 were capable of beating the champion on any given night, the divison was that rich take a look at what we had back then Tyson Holyfield Lewis Bowe Bruno Ruddick McCall Mercer Moorer Botha Foreman
I agree but Bowe planted the seeds We now have 3 world champions who wont fight each other and some strange people are bizarrely claiming one is dominating the division The Division is so NOT dominated with 3 title holder avoiding each other..
