    Guys like Lewis, Wlad, Vitali and now Joshua and Wilder made/making careers fighting significantly smaller men. Their only interesting fights are when they fought each other (Wilder has ducked both Wlad and Joshua).

    Unless you’re 6’5 or above you have no chance against these giants.

    I agree! Heavyweight division is a joke! Until this is sorted out, heavyweight division will remain a circus of world of sport.

    What about Usyk at HW? Will he be an exception?

    Mike Tyson lost to Danny Williams via 4th round brutal KO at age 38.

    No more of a joke than fake climbing weight division and pretending that its hard. Remember that guys like Adrien Broner are 4 DIVISION champions. That **** don't exist with the men at heavyweight. Ain't no sissy ass yo-yo dieting, anorexic, ballooning up after 200lbs.
    Heavyweight Division is for the gods of the earth. No Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux over here, you either got it or you don't.

    Which is why mismatches such as what we saw tonight in the main even, should be prevented by fights like these being prohibited altogether.

    Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux was less of a size mismatch than Povetkin vs Joshua.

    Is that what you tell guys before they slap you in the mouth? You complain that you are not...big enough, to stand up for yourself or do you fight like a man if you have to?
    You are acting very sissified over a fight that Povetkin agree to and got paid for. He's a man, you start acting like one too.

    Wilder? He is 225 pounds! Height doesnt have nothing to do! I always said their should be a super HW division! Been outweight by more than 20 pounds is not fair

    Lol, only a Mike Tyson had the attributes to overcome this size, height, weight and reach discrepancy but even then people feel he struggled with bigger guys
