    Nope

    HBO are not gonna buy another Heavyweight fight for a long time now

    Haye was the only legitamate threat to the Klitchkos. The heavyweight scene is so poor they might as well retire now to be honest

    Then we have to welcome in the worst crop of heavyweight champions of all time

    the question is will they ever fight a guy who is big and as good as Lennox Lewis was in his prime or Bowe, and the answer is no. There are no really good fighters out there now.

    It will be 3-5 years before any more real bankable contenders are around. At least one Klit will be gone by then.

    Lennox was the one fighter who could have beaten both the Klitschkos easily in his prime.

    Haye was meant to be Wlad's defining fight, his Tyson to Lewis, his Ali to Frazier. What we got was a one sided affair that ended in an anti climax. Everyone expected a KO, had he got it the critics would now be applauding Wlad for dominating and destroying his signature opponent.

    You can't blame Wlad for a weak era but you can blame him for not dominating with an iron fist like Tyson did when he fought in another weak era.

    There really is nobody left who is as marketable as Haye. He was able to talk himself into the position of a being seen as a genuine threat. There is nobody else around who is able to talk a fight up as well as Haye and the only contender who actually tests himself against other contenders is about to fight Vitali. Once Adamek is beaten the division will truly be dead with no fights of interest left for anyone but the hardcore fans of the 2 fighters involved.

    For an absolute and total clear out of top contenders he could get rid of David Tua and Alexander Povetkin, but it'd be wise for Povetkin to take the WBA 'Regular' belt route instead.

    Who cares about the HW division? People stopped caring since these bores took over

    Povetkin
    Dimitrenko
    Boytsov
    Valuev

    And

    Adamek (although he will have to earn it again after losing to Vitali)
    Arreola (if he gets himself in shape and gets a few good wins)

    Dimitrenko, Helenius, Valuev.. Wlad should fight some one of his own size or even taller to shut some critics up. He hasn´t fought someone big since Thompson or Austin.. providing Thompson beats Chambers a rematch wouldn´t be that bad either..

    I thought HBO is in for Vitali vs Adamek

    Arreola most active HW in the game 4 fights in 2011 and he is looking good

    Active contenders should get shots not inactive fruit cakes
