So What the Frig is going on in the heavyweight division?

Actually, no. It's not that bad. There are several interesting matchups to be made. It a marked improvement over three or four years ago.

 

Exactly. I was once a borderline Haye fan and I have watched his past 5 fights. If he fights Harrison no chance I'll ever watch him again.

 

The heavyweight division has looked much better recently. Not quite A quality, but not as bad as before.

 

This Division is bull**** and Boring at All sorry its only the true for me The last best Fight in This Divison was Vitali VS Lennox i renember this was the last Real Good Heavyweight Fight and Lennox the Real Last Heavyweight Champ !!!
not undestand me wrong Klitschko fans ^^ But all Klitschkos Challenger in This Ära are all real Nooooops Areola Peter chagaev and and and .... i dont say The Klitschkos are Bad Boxers But The Challenger are all Jokes sorry for me This ära is a real bad ära of Heavyweight Boxing and Totaly Boring !!!

 

Its not as bleak as many posters are implying. One important trend is the gradual disappearance, underway, of obese, low skilled HWs from the top rankings, replaced by in shape more skilled, more mobile fighters. On the negative side, too many fighters are still being micromanaged and avoiding the best, most competitive match ups, in hopes of landing bigger pay cheques down the road.

 

This is true, the scrubs have been getting weeded out, that certainly is one part of curing the heavyweight division. But we haven't seen any up and coming legitimate, proven contenders. Haye could have proved himself a potentially good fighter, but he ended up being a ***** like the rest. Where's the upcoming talent in the Heavies?

 

Adamek and Povetkin as far as I see it. Both are not extraordinarily skillful but do most things very well and out of the two Adamek is the better tested fighter and my pick at giving Klitschkos a more competitive fight than we've seen. Besides this, theres potentially great match ups to be made between Adamek, Povetkin and Haye, but I agree DH is currently wasting his prime (both, by being terribly inactive and picking less than stellar opposition). Also, many people see the HW bleaker than it really is because of the dearth of top US HWs and therefore crappier, less motivated US tv coverage.

 

100% true. There are some good fighters in the division but sadly they won't agree to fight each other. Are you listening David Haye?

 

Gotta say I agree. Arreola is always willing to go to war(even if the lazy ****er is never ready).

As for Adamek.... I still think he is a small HW. He's got the skills, but not the power to take the kbros on. Skill counts for a lot, but Arreola legitimately staggered him a few times in that fight.

 

audley was always in the equation!!!!.....yes he can!!!

Audley Harrison is the answer to all your questions.

 

That picture is misleading... He said I can beat Sprott in my sleep, and when he tried to prove that they counted him out!
Audrey is the man!
