You should bask in the glory of Povetkin vs Takam Two shorter heavyweights banging at each other with excellent inside, in the pocket punching, both showed iron chins both showed they have lovely skills. Takam is actually one of the top heavyweights on his day, Povetkin had to adjust and really dig in deep but what a combo to finish the show, a sublime fight. An exciting heavyweight fight of the 2010- era. there has been more. Wladimir vs Pulev. Mansour vs Cunnigham. Cunnigham vs Fury.
In fact, that fight was more action packed than most of those "legendary fights of the past". While both being heavyer than anyone back then.
In fact if you want to compare the HW's from back then you should count the Cruiserweight dust ups as well
Huck, Olafabi, Haye, USS, Hernandez, Mormeck, Czyz, Wlod, Chakkiev, Toney, Adamek, Norris, Hill, Jirov, Drodz, Usyk, Cole,......literally hundreds of World Class CWs from 2000-present would have been top 10 HWs prior to thew formation of the CW division in ?1983?:thumbsup
Thread title should read "If you're anti boring". I think many posters respect Wlad, just not his style more times than not.
