    I've been reading a lot of posts degrading the current HW division for the lack of excitement. I also noticed quite few posts lately about the so-called "exciting" up and coming fights in the LHW division. Well, I wanted to find out everybody's opinion about which division currently appears to be the worst one. For the polling matter I included most of them(up to SFW due to poll restrictions.

    IMO the worst one currently is the LHW which Top 10 mostly filled with ~40 y.o fighters(exception Dawson) that bring very little excitement at least for me. It is closely followed by the LMW of course.

    Please feel free to post any non-insulting comments along with your vote.

    I voted HW's, whether or not they are or not (if not, it would only be JUST)

    HW's represent boxing as a whole, and our HW division has been weak as dog **** for nearly the entire millenium (yeah, we had 1 or 2 good fighters at one period in the beginning, but 1 or 2 out of 1000 is ****...)

    I am talking about currently. Calzaghe has not even fought once in LHW and Taylor, Pavlik etc. are all hypothetical.

    If BH:tired brings any excitement in his fights (besides of his pre-fight clowining) maybe I need to switch to UFC then.

    LMW. HW, LHW and LWW were close too.

    I understand but who is so talented in LHW aside from Dawson?

    yep. 154 is straight up trash but it is getting very hard to stomach the hw division nowadays with guys like Chagaev and Maskaev fighting such **** opponents: Ohkello, Skelton, and now Luan K. At least we have two guys who truly want to fight the very best in wlad and sultan. they are a credit to the sport. hate to admit it, i also think peter wants to do the same and has a champion's heart.

    I agree with Pimp and Brooklyn with LHW coming in at a close thrid. LHW would get a great boost though if Tarver gets put to sleep and announces his retirement.

    Chagaev's fighting Krasniqi?:patsch

    Unification would make the division a lot better. I have to give credit to both Wladimir and Sultan for doing their part as well as their promoters. I'm sure those two would fight anybody.

    I can still stand to watch most heavyweights for the simple fact that if somebody gets caught flush then the chances are so much higher that there will be a knockdown or knockout.

    well his management is seeking approval from the slimeballs at the WBA. But if it happens or not, it's pretty clear he's not going to fight Wlad anytime soon.

    Who's next? Michael Moorer!

    But BH is not an exciting fighter and never has been that was my initial point. In addition, Clazaghe has not even fought in LHW. Well, Haye is moving to HW as well.

    LMW is woeful

    Forrest is about 68, Karmazin looks past it, Oscar isn't relevant to the division and Spinks bores the living shite out of everyone. The biggest talent in the division, Dzindziruk, can't get any exposure

    I don't see how people can say HW. People get up for Wlad vs Iggy or even Valuev vs Lyakovich last weekend even if the talent isn't deep. Nobody gives a **** about 154

    I agree. In fact after reading some of the posts, I am starting to shift towards the LMW as the worst one closely followed by the LHW.
