Would the heavyweight division be better off without the Klitschko brothers?

My honest answer is yes and no , yes being to Vitali , and no being to Wlad .

Reasons .................................... Vitali is terrible on the eye , he's a really bad watch , technically there is a lot to admire but hell he's a boring fighter , he specialises in making other fighters look bad and he's had his day now i wish he'd just **** off and retire TBH .

Wlad , is a different story he is now looking to knock people the **** out and while i still class him as boring he is a lot less boring than his brother , but once again technically very very sound and a superb athlete , and i like the way he's so active and supremeley confident he seems to be getting better . The way he's looking i dont like Haye in that fight !!!!!

 

No. They are both highly skilled and I enjoy watching them. At times they look beatable, but I think that is just really easier said than done. I'm a fan of both. I think both Vitali and Wlad are something of Lennox's proteges.

 

My answer is no... In a more talented division of flourishing talent, then perhaps, but we are a very long way from those days, and the Klit brothers are really all that the heavy weight division has going for it.. If this were the period from 1989-1994, then a 39 year old Vitali Klitschko would have had no place in it....

 

I think when the Klitschkos retire, they'll just eliminate the Heavyweight division altogether. There will be no logical reason to keep it around.

 

Povetkin, Solis, Haye, resurgent Peter and Tua, and Adamek-Arreola winner will make things interesting for the Klits. If they're gonna retire on top, whatever awaits them from now on will be rough.

 

Boytsov Pulev Helenius too.

 

I find them both pretty tedious to watch if I'm honest but if you take them out, what are you left with? As much as I'm not a fan, I'd much rather we had dedicated athletes at the pinnacle of our sport than a fat mess like Arreola.

Boring or not, they hold the belts because they make the best of their physical attributes and it's up to the rest of the division to find a way to beat them. I still believe that David Haye is their only real threat just now and I hope for the sake of the HW division that he and Vitali get a deal signed after Haye beats John Ruiz and that they promote the hell out of it.

 

Wlad has the beating of most, skills,speed, size and power. He's safety first. He's in danger of being clocked and could lose faith if someone puts in a spirted performance. His aim is to soften opponents up, to put them off fighting back and then stop them. He's not getting outbooked anytime soon, but he could be Ko'ed or fall apart again. Vitali corrects nearly all the weaknesses Wlad has, but he does not have the skillset.
I prefer Vitali as a fighter, awesome and very difficult to beat. If you could combine both it would be almost an unbeatable combination.
Haye has a chance against Wlad, but he has to try and win, if he doesn't then he's getting beaten up. Against Vitali, I cannot see how Haye could win.
Both the K's have ample power and size to KO Haye.

 

No...because they are the best around at the moment
Remove them??
How does that make the division look
Haye is the only challenge and thats why America struggles

 

It would be better if they fought each other, IMO.

 

of course not. what the hell would the heavyweight division consist of I'd it weren't for these guys. it'd be even worse. the American heavyweights are a complete joke, I can't see much action going on without the klits.
haye would be happy tho. The klits aren't asboung as people think; to put it bluntly, they're nearly perfect fighters, besides the fact that wlad is afraid of everybody and won't take a risk on the inside and maybe throw some uppercuts or something.
I certainly wouldn't mind a Muhammad Ali popping in this divison and whippin everybody though..

 

when the Klitschko retire there will be four champs who likely will all avoid each other. no one has the goods to emerge out of the group. Solis would KO Haye. Chambers, Thompson, Arreola, Adamek, Povetkin, could all hold belts. But no one will dominate or establish superiority.

People shoudl appreciate that we have a clear cut best. in 5 years it's gonna be four beltholders. we may never see a unified champ for decades because politics will prevent it. at least now we know who is the best.
