Which heavyweight era had more talent, the Klitschko era, or the post-Klitschko era?

If W Kiltschko was around today would he have gone 9.5 years holding the belts without losing? Maybe but not sure.

 

K Era

 

Exaclty, well past prime Sasha and Waldo where force enough with them.

The post Klit era had closer fights, but if the Klits had been around in their prime later they would have been dominant just the same.

 

I feel like most people are too dumb to realize parity and quality have nothing to do with each other. You can have both, you can have just one, you can have just the other, and you can have neither.

The question is phrased unambiguously to emphasize the latter quality and people keep answering in terms of the former.

 

It was criticized for valid reasons. In overall depth of quality it didn't stack up to its three predecessor decades. It also had a big drop from the brothers to all their runners-up. But that doesn't mean this one isn't worse. Those runners-up from the aughts were superior to all but one HW today.

What you have now is (besides Usyk) a bunch of profoundly mediocre heavyweights all willing to fight each other and often putting on entertaining battles. That's well and fine, but it doesn't make them, or this era, rich in quality talent.

 

WK era was better

WK
VK
Prime Povetkin
Haye
Chambers
Tony Thompson
Peter
Pulev
Ibragimov
Jennings
Chagaev
Chisora
Byrd
Takam

 

The double K era was largely filled with drab defences against weak opposition, bar one or two. The post K era is more talented - and infinitely more entertaining.

 

I refuse to vote for any of those eras, I dont like any of them

 

Today's era has better matchmaking which is the biggest difference IMO.

 

The Klitchko's were great individually but their era almost killed HW boxing. The new era even if not perfect, brought it back to some excitement.

You’d pick Ibragimov to beat prime Fury? Everyone’s entitled to their opinion of course, I was just surprised to see that

 

Didn't the Klitschko era include everyone from the post-Klitschko era, except they all ducked the Klitschkos and never fought each other?
