The current Heavyweight Division is one of the best eras ever

Why do morons act as if Foreman was a 'top 4' fighter during the 90's.
Holyfield would have won a belt too if he didn't get robbed against Nick.
If Holyfield had UD Povetkin. does that make him a 'champion of the era'?
It does not. The champions of this era is K2. The champions of the 90's were Holyfield-Bowe-Tyson-Lewis. The end. Everyone else were quite simply one time holders or contenders.
Foreman and Holmes were 0-3 against the big 4... they would have been 0-8 if they fought them all.

 

Yes.

It's funny you keep continuing to bring up the some of the lesser contenders in comparison to the depth of talent out there in those 2 decades you ignore.

 

What are you talking about? Sosnowski would box circles around the likes of Randall Cobb or Chuck Wepner.

 

Same way Hoo Nex or Lamon Brewster did probably.

FFS you're banging on about blown up fighters in the past, and you name a former light heavy and cruiser as 2 of the 3 fighters youve just named.

You don't have a clue do you?

 

Sorry, boxing divisions across the board are weak. Let's put this in perspective.

48 Year Old Hopkins still dominates
36 Yeard Old Mayweather still dominates
38 Year Old Martinez still dominates
40 Year Old Marques still dominates
40 Year Old Vitaly still dominates
37 Year Old Wlad still dominates

Notice something about these guys other than they're OLD? They are considered skill boxers. Their skills are still better than anything out there. Today's chumps are molded to become fan friendly which basically means focus on punching instead of skills. No way today's divisions are better when the old generation still rules.

Are you kidding me? Rahman getting a title shot against Povetkin was a joke, but to say Rahman earned it is a crock of ****. that guy is beyond shot and probably isn't even a top 100 HW anymore(he's that shot) Oliver McCall isn't good enough to beat any decent HW dude, not sure what you're talking about and Briggs while being past his best wasn't really shot when he faced Vitali. you act as if in the past there weren't washed up guys and fossils getting title shots! Ever seen Bowe/Dokes? Todays division isn't nearly as bad as it's made out to be. definitely nowhere near it's worst.

 

:deal Vitali is 41, almost 42 though. still a good post nonetheless.

 

anyone who holds this opinion wasn't yet a fan during the 90's HW scene which destroys this one. there was always big HW's, Klits just happen to be better than most of the real big ones but no way in hell would they beat Ali, Foreman, Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Holmes, Louis and more

 

Dominant champs in every division - it is golden era of boxing.

 

You can't have 2 dominant champs in the same division Bremen.
It doesn't work that way. Even if they share a last name.

 

No just no

 

:roll:

 

Yes it does.

 

They're not a tag team, it's not WWE.
