    Most likely exciting without them?

    or will the division still be uncompetitive and boring?

    Yep. The bros are good but they won't fight each other so every other matchup tends to be walkovers

    when they retire at least itll be the best fighting the best once again

    IMO the HW division will be a really enjoyable division to watch once they're gone. They're proof that there needs to be a Super HW division. The size difference is MUCH too large. There are a lot of guys in the HW division that would give us some awesome fights if they'd fight each other, instead they're all lined up like sheep to get sacrificed against guys that are physically too big to beat.

    The SHW division idea is bull**** for me. You can not create a new division just because the current champs are big. They were always big HWs but size is not what matters the most. I'm pretty sure that if Frazier or Tyson in their primes were here they would've given the brothers plenty of problems. The division problem is that the contenders fight bums and wait in line for a shot a the Bros like Areola at the moment. When you have contenders fighting each other you get interesting fights like Adamek-Chambers, Adamek-Areola and my favorite for FOTY this year Povetkin-Huck.

    No option for more competitive but still shite?

    Not the Klits fault the division is ****. Take them out of it and its easily the worst era ever for heavyweights. In fact leave them in and its still shockingly bad. Charr getting a title shot right after Mormeck is just ****ing horrible.

    By painting "more competitive" as the more attractive outcome, you're saying the Klitschkos are simply too good. Harsh praise... In what other point of boxing history have people cried because the champ (Wlad) is just too good while at the same time saying the rest of the division sucks? It's not logical--if someone is exceptionally dominant, it doesn't necessitate that every other pro boxer in the world above 200 lbs sucks. It's merely a testament to the champ who is universally considered P4P elite, and who is that goddamn good at boxing.

    But haters just want to hate... The masses will miss the Klitschkos when they're gone just as Lennox's former haters miss him today.

    Highly Depends.

    lewis is so missed today because the division went to **** in the eye of the masses.

    Larry Holmes was never missed.

    Why? Tyson came along.

    Lewis was lucky that they division went to **** after he left.
    Or he will still be underrated today.

    If a 'Tyson' come along within the next 4- 7 years, not one **** will be given if the Kbros leave and they WILL still be **** on for years and years to come.

    The only way the Kbros can be appreciated right after they leave like Lewis was is if the division

    GETS EVEN WORST

    By asking this question, the ts is somewhat implying that the k bros are simply too good. But isn't it universally regarded that this division is seeing its worst crop of talent in history? Take the k broa out and wouldn't it suck a lot more??

    Wtf?

    That's not how life works.

    I'm a University student. I go to lectures every day, I'm smart.

    Let me break it down.

    once again. LEWIS WAS APPRECIATED IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE RETIRED BECAUSE THE DIVISION WENT TO ****.

    LARRY HOLMES WAS NOT....... Not until decades and decades later.

    Nobody gave a **** about Holmes after he was gone. Cuz of Tyson


    If a 'Tyson' appears again after Kbros are gone, Kbros will wait a long long time before getting proper rankings..

    Yes, since many people seem to consider exciting to see two bums swinging wildly.

    +1 Seriously they are professional. Tyson overcame alot of dissadvantages when he fought and it worked out pretty well.
