    Yes, so Price and Fury are going to be the HW equivalent of Federer and Nadal? That's hilarious :lol:

    Not too fair Federer is probably the tennis GOAT based on achievement, no-one is saying that. they;re just pointing out that after Sampras there were two great players who emerged and made it competitive which price will do. Don't rate Fury personally

    The HW division clearly has the potential to have good depth of talent, there are a number of up & coming contenders & prospects who may develop into good fighters. Hopefully this will equal plenty of competitive & entertaining fights, which is what all boxing fans want to see.

    For a long time both Klitschko's haven't had competitive & entertaining fights. As good as they both are they have ruled over a shallow era & of course, will never face each other to determine a clear #1 undisputed champion.

    The post-K2 era will lack high profile & long time champions but if the overall level of ability in the top10 HWs increases then it will be a stronger division.

    Well one "great" going in and another "great" going in doesn't create interesting matchups.

    You need a great champion and you need opponents that are tough opposition instead of cannon fodder.

    With the post K era we are missing 2 ingredients:

    1. We don't know when/who we'll have a good HW champ again
    2. If we do get get one, will he have opponents that are close to his abilities or 2 levels below (like now).

    Just because Price could potentially be a HW champ in 5 years time doesn't automatically mean it will be a more exciting period in HW boxing. A couple of things have to fall in place for that to happen.

    These guys are all coming up and maybe Vit will retire, but it just means Wlad will be the WBC man. There is serious depth brewing in HW division for sure.

    but Americans didn't dominate at the time, not to mention Wlad came back pretty fast and destroyed everybody
