    Why? Because he keeps calling everyone out, talks a big talk and then fights quitter Hasim Rahman? That's not exciting to me...

    getting better than the last few years but still not that good as what people would like it to be. And i agree that it that the division needs a few more good american hevyweights.

    Vitlai vs Peter is the best fight out there. Look at the interest level.

    Povektin is about to ge this chance. We need some guys from the Olympics to go pro. Cammarelle, and Chakheiv both won gold at super heavy and heavy. I hope they go pro.

    I think interest is stirring up a little more, I think this weekends fight is a curious one , I expect Ruiz to mess Valuev's style up and maybe earn a pts win, That sets up a Chagaev match.. Sammy v Vitali makes for great showing, I take Peter to choke Vitali in his own ringrust... Wladimir v Povetkin is a mouthwaterer, If Povetkin approaches that fight with fire in his belly he may shock some people.. The second level is bringing up the fore too, Aareola v Haye is a great one for the future, Chambers is always there , he is a very smooth operator and a winner at heart.. Fighters i dont feature any more are.. (Toney.. he looks very ordinary these days like Rahman..) I never ever overlook Jameel.. he is a sleeper.. Haye is promising.. Dimentricko and the other big German puncher along with Gomez... They aren't going away. I have a man Friday Ahunanya , whom i want to fight regularly in 208 / 9 having just beaten 2 unbeaten kids (Alonzo Butler and Shane Cameron) He is willing and able to mix it with anyone out of the top ten at present.. Ibragimov and Briggs are there... But its up to them to show themselves once more. The heavyweight show in Iowa is interesting for lower end of the scale heavys, some of whom could prove respectable again.. Dokiwari, Oquendo, Mora, Salif, Platov, Wills... For the cash on offer there may be some fireworks up there.. All in all its interesting more so than it has been since 2005.. It indeed is looking forward a little..

    Arreola, Haye, and Peter are the only ones I watch. The rest are boring as ****.
