    The heayvweight division is the most exciting since it's on the verge of having a new era and Wladimirs last fight probably win or loose. :D
    Time to come off the kool aid and drink some water instead.

    Yes he did and I saw the video which has since been removed from the internet just like the Dustin nicholls and Harold Sconiers knock downs.

    and looking at his recent performances its going to happen again (if he ever steps up)

    He has learnt nothing defensively and still fights like an amateur who only took up boxing a few months ago

    It could be but the fights just don't seem to get made.

    Joseph Parker seems to have called out the winner of every possible fight, nobody knows what's going on with Luis Ortiz, Wilder gets away with fighting voluntary and then his mandatory is Stervine, Fury doesn't even have a license does he?

    Parker v Fury and AJ v Wlad deserve respect for taking on someone other than a punch bag!

    I think featherweight is quite interesting at the moment - Russell Jr, Frampton, Selby, Santa Cruz, Mares, Valdez etc all are really good fighters with exciting styles and I don't think any match up from those has a clear favourite!

    :p I don't belive that Wilder would get knocked OUT by a jab. He got hit flush by a right hand from David Haye in sparring and that has to be harder then a Jab for Klitscko.

    Aside from it not having the best fighters, the top fighters not fighting each other, and not having any exciting fights, you're right. HW division is the best right now.

    I dont think so , Tyson Fury maybe is not the most aesthetically pleasing Guy , but he is still lineal Champion
    and did beat Wladimir Klitschko ,far away from a bum.
    David haye was a really good Fighter and Chisora and Whyte are clearly above average .

    Middleweight Division has nothing to offer other than Golovkin, Jacobs and maybe Lemieux.
    There are no good match ups after Golovkin fought Jacobs.
    Welterweight and Cruiserweight have very good match ups at the moment though, but the
    Fights who could be made in the HW Divison are far more interesting at the moment , in my
    opinion.
    AJ vs Klitschko and Parker vs Hughie Fury are not that bad

    Tyson Fury doesnt look he'll be back anytime soon as apparently, reports suggest that Tyson is fatter than he has ever been!

    I think we all cant wait for the big win, Joshua vs Klitschko. This is the divisions biggest fight that we know of so far.

    It would be entertaining if they were fighting each other.

    HW had a great chance in 2016 if Wlad vs Fury would be settled once and for all and if Povetkin and Wilder fought. Those 2 fights were crucial for the development of the division and they were cancelled.

    After that it basically just became Anthony Joshua show with other HWs either sidelined or embarrassing themselves with weak fights.

    We had two good fights with Chisora vs Whyte and Breazeale vs Ugonoh though but that's hardly relevant to the elite of the division.

    Cruiserweight is where the true excitement lies. Genuinely athletic big men with minimal egos and huge hearts willing to mix it up at the highest level for the benefit of the fans. When was the last time we had a situation like GGG/Alvarez or Kovalev/Ward? It'd just never happen.

    Heavyweight has the potential to ignite, but there's too much easy money floating around and half the fighters have no work ethic or true desire to be the best.
