    Question Am I Missing Something

    The HW division has been dominated by Klit, brother's for a few year's now people keep on telling us
    all how good they are. Am I missing something I don't no about you but they are boring, is it just me but I feel they are killing the HW division.
    Excitement is a word I never use in any of there fight's, I no the division is not bristling with talent but
    would you not like to see both of them retired, I would.

    They're alright.. I guess. They wouldn't all that, if they were in Tyson-Holyfield era.

    That's it they are all right, I can see they don't generate much interest.

    I think they are better than most people would like to admit


    Theyd have lived with the best hws of any era, their style is extremely dull and frustraiting, but very effective

    And yes i hope they are beaten or retire soon, we wont have a decent hw division until they do

    The Klitschkos arent killingthe divison. They are just betterbthan whats around currently. Are we supposed to hope that they retire rather than continue beating people?

    Its a lack of promotion and keeping a flow of young fighters coming in. Boxing is a hard sport and the best fighters are only going to come from the poorer countires where it is a relatively easier way to make money and get themselves out of poverty. Unfortunately for the heavyweight division, the poor countries that produce boxers are generally small men. Unless someone goes and scouts somewhere like Nigeria for a big man that can fight (that would probably be bonkers as they are from Nigeria), then things wont change much.

    I find Wlad hard to watch he is so boring and fights scared and carnt fight on the inside just grabs and holds.. Prime Vitali would give any1 a hard fight in any era he is just so awkward and has a very gud chin. I feel Wlads chin would of let him down if he was fighting some of the fighters from the past. He would be a problem for any1 he has a very good jab and a gud powerfull right hand but he doesnt throw it enough. But when he gets hit flush by a decent puncher thats when it will start to fall apart from him imo.

    yes they're dull bot not their fault - ring walks are best thing about them.

    there's no opposition for them lets face it. But yes Wlad is scared of fighting in close and his leaning pisses me off

    But you fight to your strengths I guess and if it more or less guarantees the win what do you do
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    They are a bit like sprouts, they are good for you but you don't have to like them.

    People say the div would be worse without them


    Thats bollox though it would be miles better

    The division rubbish because they rule it wih their defensive take no chances at all styles and their gready contracts

    Ok provetkin clearly isnt amazing but is one of the better contenders but theres abosolutely no point in him fighting either klit

    They say they're killing the division but I beg to differ. I'm not fans of theirs by any stretch of the imagination but the people who are killing the division are these useless fat slobs who think being a heavyweight means that they get a free buffet pass. It's disgraceful. Look at the specimen that were Foreman, Norton, Ali, Frazier and Henry Cooper etc all in great shape. Every ounce of them, functional. Now we have absolute slobs like Tyson Fury, Chisora and Arreola. Or we have Cruisers in good shape but not big enough to contend.

    The Klitschkos don't help with fights like Mormeck but at least their application to the sport is admirable. If the Klitschkos are killing the division it's because the rest of the heavies have allowed it. I mean who else is there to be excited about once they're gone?

    You can't say they don't draw interest either, at least domestically they seem to pack out football stadiums everytime they fight.

    All you comment's I take on board, but they never have or will have that Wow factor there style
    is very effective . Don't get me wrong they are good at what they do!, but boxing need's excitement
    and as I said before they don't generate that. HW division is in a sorry state at the moment weather
    you like it or not, I wait with baited breath for the Wow factor to return.

    if the klits went now there would be less quality undoubtably in the division

    but there would also be a rush for the belts and a lot more ambition
