    Smile Who Will Make Heavy Weights more Exciting to watch?

    Heavy Weight bouts have become way too sloppy and boring to watch. They have gotten too slow and bleak! Watching them is like wasting your time and you might flip through 7 channels and flip back and these guys are still holding each other in the same corner! Its too bad.
    I don't know whether I am the only one that is seeing this but it is not exciting me at all.
    Question... Who Will make Heavyweights exciting to Watch again in this era?

    First one that comes to my mind, for obvious reasons, is David Haye. I know he isn't liked by many but his whole attitude really helps to promote fights in the heavyweight division.. it doesn't matter how much you think he doesn't deserve the fight or how badly you think he's going to get beat, the truth is his fight with Wlad is recieving far more attention than Wlad's fight with Ibragimov or Rahman did for example, not to mention his style of fighting brightens the heavyweight division up alot, with his fast punches and his wild swings. The division needs more fast paced fights, the last few 'big' heavy weight fights have been at a blistering slow pace, with wladimir jabbing people to sleep or Peter wobbling around the ring.. so all in all I think the division needs more faster people.

    It'll take a hell of alot of talent and time to turn the Heavyweight division around. It's taken a battering from the media and the public over the last 5 years, to the point where I think it's actually underrated although its still rubbish compared to some previous era's. There won't be any quick fix... Haye is a start but there needs to be at least 2 more exciting talents to emerge who can realistically compete with the Klit's.

    I agree about Haye; at least for the moment. He has added some "life" so to speak just from his big mouth, and I can't wait to see him and Wlad go at it; so just being excited about a heavyweight fight is something isn't it?

    I like Arreola; he comes to fight and has a certain charm about him. But as was said, it will take alot to get this HW scene anywhere near exciting as a whole. Somehow guys like the carpeted neanderthal Vauev don't excite me too much. I like Wlad but he's too cautious; here's to hoping he really does intend to inflict alot of damage on Haye and it makes a good fight at least. If Haye should win it will stir things up for sure.
