How bad is todays heavyweight division?

Fury beat a former world title challenger in a very good way. Also he beat Chisora. And some journeyman.
Cunningham is a good fighter and beat Adamek (I dont count Robberies.) He will be a hard test for Fury.

 

Wait do u mean to tell me there is still a heavy weight division

 

Off the top of my head there's these guys:

USA
Malik Scott
Deontay Wilder
Bryant Jennings
Seth Mitchell
Jonathan Banks
Brett Rather
Andy Ruiz
Steve Cunningham
Tomasz Adamek
Amir Mansour
Tony Thompson
Chris Arreola

UK
David Price
Tyson Fury
Audley Harrison
Derek Chisora
David Haye

World
Alexander Povetkin
Marco Huck
Kubrat Pulev
Ruslan Chagaev
Denis Boytsov
Robert Helenius
Magomed Abdusalamov

And the Klitschkos of course.

The problem is that the fights don't get made that often. When they do, it's usually good. There's a TON of talent in the division. Just because not many of them would have a chance vs the champs doesn't mean it's a poor division. Once the K bros retire that division will explode with action while these guys all fight for rankings and a chance to become the next champ. It's just the K's are too damn big, good, and interested in fighting bull**** fights. And on top of that, the only fights anyone wants are Klitschko fights. **** moving up the rankings by fighting contenders, they all want a shot at the K bros now. It's stupid.

 

its pretty crappy, but back to the old... no one is fighting enough! It's true, every 3 months fight and the cream would soon rise. If there is any...

 

Its the worst.

Its not just the Champions . Vtali could hang in most era's , but the depth of talent is so poor.

Wlad would last this long in the 80's.

 

If Wilder becomes champ, then the same people who bash the HW division now would say the division is great! :yep

 

The heavyweight division has almost always sucked. Slow lumbering giants with little skills. It was probably most exciting in the 90's when some of the top guys were fighting each other and they were much more athletic and skilled in the top 10. However make no mistake the K bros would have demolished most of those guys as well.

This era needs more top 10 guys fighting each other and it would be good again. If the top 10 can get in shape it would be even better. Otherwise it's just the Wlad jabbing fat bums for 12 rounds.

 

Crabs239 will be at the front of the pack.

 

Its weak because you've had 2 guys COMPLETELY dominate for the last decade, who couldnt fight each other.

They were MILEs ahead of the competition.

Now, there one guy whose miles ahead.

It cant be a strong division when the #2 guy in the world is considered to haver no chance with the #1 guy.

Fighting all these nonsense fights against the likes of Leapai, Mormeck,Pianeta, and Wach diesnt help either.

 

It stinks

 

Great eras have great fights.
What great fights have we seen since the retirement of Lewis?
