    Agreed.

    The level of opposition for the Klitschkos is laughable, Haye included.
    The fact people are praying Haye fights Wlad tells you all you need to know.

    ....At this point it has nothing to do with america, the only way you could think that considering the overall state of the division is if you're some kind of nationalist idiot

    the level of contenders, champions, and the overall ability of the top 25 of the division is pretty terrible, especially for a weight class that is supposed to be full of legendary/awesome fights on a consistent basis

    The HW's top 5 (Wlad, Vitali, Povetkin, Haye, Adamek) is stronger than it has been for almost a decade. Boytsov, Solis, Pulev and Helenius are all good fighters bubbling under.

    Yeah, and most people would agree with me that the division is weak(although I do agree with the posters that say it's on the upswing rather than the downswing). If you need evidence for the crappiness of the Heavies, all you need to do is note Klitschko dominance... When was the last time either of them was seriously in danger of losing a belt? When was the last time a contender arose that even looked like they could take over?

    This isn't a knock against the Klitschko's but they aren't so incredible that they should have a reign as long as they have, **** is ridiculous. People are getting excited about adamek in the heavies, and he's a freaking blown up 175er(granted he wasn't suited for that weight in the first place).... The HW division is full of overweight, unskilled scrappers that would get owned in any other HW era, and even someone who doesnt watch a lot of boxing can tell that just by looking at them.
