How depressing will it be when the Klitschkos retire

...tears?


Jesus Christ.

 

Really? Guess you don't know much about boxing. There's more out there than the HW division.

 

It will likely end up being a division without a truly great talent for a while, but at least we won't have somebody so dominant that no fights are competitive. HBO will begin supporting heavyweight boxing because we won't have predetermined outcomes anymore. (not that the fights are fixed, but that they're extremely easy to see who the winner will be.)

 

I will miss the Klitschkos, esp. Vitali...............I really enjoy watching them fight, after they retire we will not have such talent for a long time, perhaps never....................I am so glad Greenburg is gone, he was destroying HBO boxing.............

 

the HW division will sink into obscurity

 

it will be the greatest time for a long time for the heavys when those borfests go away and finaly boytsov, povetkin and the other young guns box each other

 

I don't care about the standard dropping as long as we still have a few fighters around the Povetkin/Haye standard in the division. It will always be good as long as the top guys are willing to fight each other. Of course, that isn't guaranteed. Idiots might criticise the K's for not fighting each other, but they fight everyone else.

 

they seem like nice guys, and represent the sport in a positive way. but boxing is an individual sport. what the hell is this we will get all the belts and we will be champion, and we want to be the best crap.

 

the whole heavyweight division has always been a little depressing. Big guys with much different sizes and training regiments, who were always rather lazy and slow.

 

Nah, at least we'd probably see some competitive caveman esque slugfests for titles.

People don't like champions as dominant as the Klitschkos unless they're ridiculously exciting like a Tyson, Louis, etc.

 

i have been watching hw boxing since early 90's as i was lil kid and I will be watching it till I die.

 

It will be 2004/2005 all over again. Guys like Iggy, Brewster, Ruiz etc. winning a belt and losing it in the next.

 

it will be more exciting,when they retire.there will be more evenly matched fighters = more fights. look you have tyson fury who has 15 wins, being touted to fight wlad klit. now is that fair, or do you bring him on to 20+ fights for a arreola or adamek fight. instead of wlad destroying the kid and then another contender is ruined. Look the Klits are amazing fighters, the best in their division.but the division will be alot more exciting without them,

 

The current WBC Heavywheit Champion and the suporior brother, Vitali Klitschko! :happy
