Heavyweight division is in shambles

There is talk of Joshua vrs Pulev at least. Would rather he face Parker right away but might be better to build it up.

Too bad Ortiz is tied up with promotional issues. But Ortiz-Ustinov should be a good fight while it lasts. Ortiz had better be ready for anything if this is going down on Putin's birthday.

Who is coming up under the radar? Surely some young buck is making waves somewhere in 2016 but we just haven't heard of him yet.

Overall it's been a dull 2016 at heavyweight after an exciting 2015.

 

What a shame. HW boxing has been pathetic since Lewis-Vitali

 

Only another Tyson, Dempsey or Foreman will save boxing.

 

we need another klitschko to save the heavyweight division

 

I like the Pulev fight for Joshua. i think it's a good measuring stick to see how early he can KO him compared to Vlad, while also being a step up in class. Parker can be early next year, but not stiverne though.

Ortiz-Ustinov will be fun I guess.

Sometime in the near (not so near ?) future, Wlad thrashes fury and eventually retires , Fury will then be beaten again by the next strong opponent he faces and fury will be reduced to the lower top ten .....He will then likely retire.

I see wilder as an overrated title holding fighter Who will be beaten as soon as he faces Povetkin or someone else on that level


I see Joshua and Miller as the two standouts that will rise to the very top in the coming few years
