    If it is...then we know that thats the last sign of the appocalipse...2007 one of the best years in boxing with absolutely no help from the HVW division....what other heavyweight bout was more exciting than this one??? hmm??? mabey mccline vs. peter round 2 but that was more of a sloppyfest down the stretch...can anyone tell me what other hvw fight was the best this year??? cuz i cant really think of a better fight...and that kinda sucks, cuz it says alot about the state of the hvw division...

    Peter vs. McCline

    3 knock downs and Peter still wins.

    Not really, The talent pool is lacking in the division and there are no real stand out fighters that can take the division by storm or rise up above the rest. Furthermore there is little exposure from those HW's coming from the Eastern Bloc that would make anybody excited to see them in the ring. None of this is Don King's fault.

    Klitschko vs. Brock was better than Holyfield vs. Savarese.

    Peter vs. McCline & Povetkin vs. Byrd were also better IMO.

    Wlad/Brock happend in late 06, I think November?

    I thought Both the Mccline/Peter and Valuev/Chagaev were both better fights, Mccline/Peter was very exciting and Valuev/Chagaev was very good tactical fight won by Chagaev.
