All the other HW fighters are just crap. Peter is possibly the only other exciting guy out there. Ironically, Wlad is the only guy who doesn't fight on PPV, while all the other so called champs constantly fight on PPV; i think their fights don't even deserve to be on HBO. HW division is just overrun by sub-par fighters.
They go PPV because no network will pick them up. Yea it is pretty sad that the glamour division has lilkely the most off-tv/ closed circuit fights of every division above lightweight.
putting aside how good they are, the exciting fighters to me in the division are: (in no particular order) wlad (i love great ko's and he supplies them in bucket loads) white wolf (when he decides to fight that is) brewster (likes getting punched to give one) maskaev (do or die) chagaev (the white peter... only with actual skills) sultan (well... up until his last two fights) arreloa (crude and average but loves to brawl) povetkin (combination punching skills) peter (when he has a C-level class fighter in front of him, it's fun watching the caveman clubbing motions in action) sanders (old fart now, but fun for a few rounds with those fast bombs he throws) briggs (for precisely 1 minute and 27 seconds of round 1, then relegated to sultan's level of excitement for the rest of the match) proably missing a few lesser known fighters atm, but these are off the top of my head.
I just prefer watching the lighter divisions anyway. Except for the occasional excting heavyweight the lighter ones are more fun to watch
Brewster was the most exciting between april 04-april 06, that was his rain as champion, there was not one fight between that time that wasnt exiciting.
Peter the only other exciting fighter out there,eh? Peter vs Toney I? Peter vs Toney II? Peter vs Pudar? Pure fun to watch,eh?
I agree, Wlad is the only one providing excitement in the HW Division since he's always on the line of knocking someone out or being himself knocked out, No Joke, For Real, and Sam Peter must feel jealous about it or else...
