Is it me, or is the heavyweight division starting to look interesting again?

Let's face it, British and American boxers always have more character, whether that's being entertaining or having a screw loose. The most exciting parts of Klitschkos career was the lead up to his fights and that was with Chisora slapping his brother and spitting in his face, Haye wearing t-shirts of klitschkos heads being chopped, and Tyson fury entering the press conference in a batman suit.

I respect Wlad, great champion and carried himself well. But we'd all rather watch paint dry.

 

There are some engaging personalities around for once so that is quite refreshing. In terms of skill, I'm not sure if it's going uphill. I do think Fury is the real deal and while Wlad and Povetkin are still good, they are aging and are possibly on the brink of retiring. Wilder, Haye, Martin and Joshua have yet to prove that they can fill the gaps left by the previous generation.

It's pretty competitive overall though so that's a big plus.

 

Its no longer dominated by a set of brothers.

People can actually get excited about match ups again

 

Usa usa! Right std?

 

That's true. I can't wait to watch Charles Martin's first title defense. Will it be against Andrey Fedosov? Can't wait!

 

What if Wlad wins the rematch and dominates for another few years?

I bet you would revert to "its the weakest HW era ever".

 

The interesting players in the division now are Fury, Wilder, Haye, Joshua, Parker
Martin, King Kong are going to be out of the mix pretty fast

Klitschko may still beat all the top guys, but will see how he looks in the rematch.

 

Come rematch night , Tyson fury will be the next Buster Douglas so count him out of the potential rising interest
Lol

 

How would Tyson Fury become the next Buster Douglas, when Mike Tyson didn't rematch Buster Douglas? :think

 

The HW division under Vlad was like when hospitals put people with serious conditions in medical comas.
The Klitschos and their Ukrainian mob bosses held the HW division hostage so the US CIA created a rag-tag freedom bum (Fury) to infiltrate and release the belts until an American comes to collect them.

 

Meaning Fury will lose his titles in his very first defense

 

Meh. Just because some best-case-scenario configurations are sliding & locking into place amongst the dregs we are left with in the post-K2 era doesn't make them any less dregs.

 

Wake me up when new talent emerges. (ie an Olympics or two from now)

 

It sounds good but the reality is the klitschkos took on all that was available. This crop of new heavy weights will keep talking and put on shows out of the ring but fight nobody in the ring. Your going to wish it was the klitschko era where they did their talking in the ring. I have a feeling we are heading for the worst era ever and cherry picking at its finest!
