How will the heavyweight division become alive again in the eyes of some

for starters
1) Heavies need to be more active
2) Ranked guys need to fight ranked guys, too many mismatches

 

an american regarded as the best. america won't care until that happens again.

 

It is weak. The fighters outside of the Klits are a bunch of low to moderately skilled guys with often weight issues.

Tyson Fury is ranked. Tony Thompson has been a mainstay contender, etc.

Those guys compared to the past are not good.

The Klitschko's themselves are 1 dimensional, just very good at that one dimension and you have nothing else in the division that qualifies as "very good".

A strong era has greatness.

For it to be revived - Athletic, multi dimensional, hard chinned HWs would need to return.

 

white america lost interest when lewis became the man. black america when the klitschkos did.

 

Have American boxers as champions:yep

2009 - 1 fight

will some of wlads opponents, he should fight 3 times a year. he didnt break a sweat with Lepai, he should have had 1 more fight before Pulev in sept

 

that aint true. real Boxing fans doesnt care who holds the real belt. If they didnt like Lewis, is because of his style, not color.

 

yep, its not me. i went to a party for lewis-holfield 1. it was packed. i was the only one who thought lewis would win. bet almost everyone there. people started paying me after the 4th round. i had to give it all back, because of the crap decision. safter that night, the parties dwindled, then ceased to exist. now only mexicans, and some blacks, even follow boxing.

 

no, it is true, of most people.
