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

I'll research wash later.
dw cleans out the div. maybe when Wlad and other current top HWs get old.

Even then, according to the chin checkers on here, dw is a glass shattering accident waiting to happen.

 

Mongoose, excellent historical review.

I'd forgotten how overrated the 90s were :yep But better than the 70s & 80s that many want to hype on esb - for obvious reasons.

 

Yes .... both Tyson and Hughie on the list .... this group could upend the recent boxing norm and the little guys in the barnyard could once again take a step back to the big horses.

Wilder
Ruiz
Browne
Glazkov
Jennings
Parker
Washington
Green
Braezeale
Shimmell
Ortiz
Teper
Helenius
Martin
Joshua

 

Parker and Joshua both have good fights coming up against better known opposition.

 

Adrian Granate is a guy to look out for as well... Kind of reminds me of Helenius.

 

Speaking of which it is too bad that Helenius' career appears to be over for the moment.

I guess it there is a sliver lining, it is that his injuries are having plenty of time to heal if he ever does come back. And guys like that big peak late, so he could realistically come back even at 35 and make a run.

Injuries appear to be the least of his problems today...

 

That is kind of my point...legal issues running a promising career. What a waste.
