    With Lennox,valuev and vitali gone and Wlad nearing the end of his glorious reign we have a lot of good super heavyweights emerging. Deontay wilder is 6'7 and is the WBC belt holder, Tyson Fury 6'9 is clearly the most worthy contender in the division, David Price 6'8 and supposedly Robert helenius 6'6 are on the comeback trail, Anthony Joshua 6'6 has a lot of potential and then there is the newbie Taishan Dong from China who is 7 foot tall but is only 3-0 at the moment.

    Anyway the point is are we now about to witness a golden age of super heavyweights unfold......

    Are we already over a decade into the Super Heavyweight era ???

    Price is stiff and very basic and Dong is untested but overall they seem like a good bunch

    I see Joshua doing big things if he continues the way hes going.

    One day they might need to up the divisional limits. Ala a Cruiserweight would be 220 pounds or so.
    These guys are ridiculously big.

    I thought Johnson would be a good test for him. Also they should at someone like Leapai for Joshua also.
