There is Several Reasons Why the HeavyWeight Division is Trash -The After Effect of the Tyson Era Now Im not saying Tyson was the best Heavyweight of the last era but our last memory of a truly successful Heavyweight division is Tyson,Lewis,Holyfiel all of these fighters Would KNOCK YOU THE **** OUT DEVESTATINGLY !!! Unlike the heavyweight division now -NO Badasses No Fighters in the heavyweight division are entertaining @ all. If Vlad Talked alot of **** and beat his opponents to a pulp to you think people would ever miss a vlad match? never... he just jabs them to death.. :tired -NO Characters Kind of fits into the no Badasses catagory. Atleast if your a character people will pay attention to you... people pay attentoin to mayorga because hes such a character even though hes lost a decent amount -NOT BECAUSE THERES NO AMERICANS once again If Vlad was out there knocking the competition out in devestating fasion.... or atleast talked some smack once and a while... people would definitely tune into him more often All of these factors are contributors to why the heavyweight division flat out sucks... i had some other factors in my head but i forgot them.. hopefully in conversation ill remember the other ones
Those are some of the reasons. The other reasons are the typical problems of boxing: 1. Sanctioning bodies. 2. PPVs And a final explanation of why the HW division is ****ed up: 1. The promoters do not make THE fights.
Your criticism seems to boil down to this: If Wlad talked more **** and boxed more aggressively, the heavyweight division wouldn't suck right now. Is this the reason so many are delusional about Haye's prospects?
maybe i should have said garbage... i just kept using vlad as an example.. the division would be more exciting if wlad was more exciting same with some of the other guys... none of them are remotely exciting cept for sam peter... but he sucks at boxing.. its not fun to watch him @ all except for hte final result.. but thats why im hoping for haye to be succesful in hte hw division hes good to watch and he talks ****... hell bring some excitement.... i cant say anything about if hell succeed or not though... i have no clue
from memory holyfield scored about 4 wins by rsf in all his heavyweight title fights. where are all these ktfo wins. lewis boxed patiently in half his fights. as to talking badass, that is all done by wlads opponents who normally end up KTFO so little good it does them. characters again you interpret as an american view of getting noticed. what does a fighter who gets tv audiences that HBO and showtime could only dream of in countrys outside of america need with being something he is not. wlad sells bigtime. again you have a totally blinkered view, totally unable it seems to think outside your own prejudices , wlad does more tv sales than any american fighter you can name. he is not american, yet you pigeonhole him and all the other heavys from a totally one sided perspective .
Hell yeah - one of the most overrated fighters in recent memory. He's viewed as a some monster when he had only TWO victories, one of them disputed, over live bodies. It's ridiculous the way this guy gets overrated.
