What do we have to look forward to? Arreola? A Haye comeback? Chısora? A Peter comeback? What about a Lennox comeback? Worse yet, a Holyfıeld comeback. Whatever happened to Tyson-Holyfıeld III? They both need the money anyway. Does anybody really want to see those Russıans anymore or that Polısh guy? :rolleyes: I guess we'll have to put all our hopes ın Tyson F:rolleyes:ry and that Scandınavıan guy whats hıs name.......Ingemaar Johanssen ıs ıt?
Tyson is taking his show from Vegas to Broadway so he really has no need to take it to the ring anymore, Holyfield is now starting to sell BBQ sauce :-X, either way the HW division has been dead for a while now, not like the USA has anyone worth a damn apart from MAYBE Mitchell and Wilder and that's a huge maybe :-\Quote:

just because there is no meaningful HWY from the USA, doesnt mean the division is dead.
didn't say that the division was dead because there isn't a meaningful HW from USA, it's because there isn't ANY meaningful HW apart from the Klitschko's, so then when they leave all we'll have left is the crap that couldn't get passed them in the first place, name ONE HW apart from the Klits who are worth a damn and could have beaten ANY TOP FIGHTER from any other eraQuote:

The thing is a lot of fighters, that are coming through in all weight divisions from the former Eastern Block. And not so many from USA,! in all weight divisions HW included, so this is a new chapter in boxing,Quote:

I mean Haye was written off as a loud mouth braggard who couldn't pull it off when it counted and make a statement. Well. Somethings change anyway ;D
I enjoy heavyweight fights. The day they retire is the day things get interesting again. I want unpredictability. Not some lumbering asshole biding his tall-assed time.
