Worst heavyweight era ever?

This era is better in terms of depth of quality than the Klitschko Brother era and Lates 80s Mike Tyson prime era. So no it's not the worse.

Povetkin wasn't completely shot by time he fought AJ, as he proved in his fights with Whyte, Hunter and Hughie.

You also included Wilder as one the top guys when there is half doesn't guys with better resumes in the divison than him.

 

This era is terrible.

 

Carnera became a world champ, end of thread.

 

Ali from the late 70`s would not have been champ in tis era.

 

Mitch and resumes is the new Bellew getting home safely to his wife and kids.

 

You have to be taking the ****. It was far worse when W. Klitschko was dominating old, short, blown-up cruiserweights and generally useless boxers for a decade, in Germany.

 

Couldn't say it's the worst but it is bang average..only AJ can hold his head high.

 

Bellew said his wife can kick his butt and beat up his opponents.

 

He better not hold his head up high against Usyk.

 

In depth for biased guys like you.

Everyone with brains and skills to use google does know how bad in depth of quality is THIS era.
Boxers are praised for beating up KLITS era leftovers and not rarely struggles to beat them up.
LOL.
And still this era is better cos you hate Klits.

If compare these boxers and their opponents, even fights vs Chisora alone are beautiful example how " GOOD " is this era.
40 y.o uncle Vitali didn't had problems to win vs Chisora.
Then after this Chisora appeared enough good for Haye to fight with. Haye finished him in 5 rounds.
Nothing wrong, then he was enough good for Fury to fight with again. Then for Whyte 2X, cool comparision:
Whyte get close decision win on cards vs Chisora.
Whyte - Chisora II fight. Chisora ahead on 2 judges scorecards after 10 rounds before Whyte had landed on him big punch.
Cool quality, especially if bearing in mind that Whyte had been KOed out cold with 1 punch by 224 lbs 40 years 11 months old ghost from over the hill Povetkin.

Yeah, quality of oppisition for sure in Klits era was worse ( irony ) than now.
Recent proof with the same Chisora: Usyk lost 3 first rounds and 1 round might be a draw, next 8 rounds Usyk had won.
Beautiful comparision with Haye or old 40 y.o senior citizen in Vitali.
Chisora vs Parker: despite Parker is younger, larger than Usyk and with low mileage under belt while still experienced, he had struggled vs Chisora and looked worse than Usyk vs Chisora.

Ruiz Jr: mopped floor with A.J and appears was not able to drop 40 y.o 238 lbs Arreola. Damn.

Who else is there?

I might bring up other opponents from Klit bad era, still today used in boxing top level fights.
Chisora was only 1 example here.


This era is almost died due to boxers inactivity in top 50 during last years even BEFORE Covid.

 

This era,for boxing in general

Is laughable for the majority of the time

 

This era is full of puddings with the top 3 avoiding each other until Fury saved the division by stepping up to face Wilder.

 

See the 1950s.

People have a rosy view of the past. HW boxing is usually bad.

 

For talent this era may not be great but for entertainment and personalities it's several levels above the Klitschko Brothers era of doom (2004-15) or the early 80's and at the end of the day isn't that why we fans watch to be entertained ??

Compared to the K-Bros era there were no personalities like Fury or Wilder, no national hero like AJ filling out stadiums and becoming a household name, there were no wars like AJ - Wlad/Whyte/Ruiz.
AJ and Wilder had both shown major vulnerabilities and there was always a feeling they could be beaten by contenders which we did not get with Wlad and Vitali.
Seriously anyone who would swap this era for what came before it either wasn't watching the previous era or has a bad memory because it was terrible, TERRIBLE.
