    I'm not too up on the HW division, not been interested in it since Lewis hung them up

    Last great, dramatic, exciting HW fight i can think of was Lewis Vitali


    Name some more

    wlad - peter was quite good. possibly the last heavyweight fight i enjoyed. for as long as it lasted, vitali - sanders had moments of drama too.

    As far as the mainstream sports media goes, it was Tyson/Lewis

    I really thought Chambers-Povetkin had the potential to fit this bill. Had a different Eddie showed up it may have. Then, I'm a bit more of a fan of pure boxing than many.

    omg that pic honestly looks photoshopped lol.


    IDK its been a while. Briggs vs. Sergei had an exciting ending. But Tyson vs. Lewis felt like the last event. Also Vitali vs. Lewis was nice for something thrown together last minute.

    well depends i guess. if i was not a fan of the klitchkos, really not much.
    but i am and have enjoyed seeing them put their opponents away 1 by 1.
    but vlad's style makes for some yawners for sure which is too bad, because if he had a bit more vitali...

    anyway, yeah a pretty un-stellar HW division these days.
