ALSO The Klitschko era is no less different than many of the other heavyweight eras where there was just 1 (or in this case 2 great fighters....yes they are great). Joe Louis' era was poor, Marciano's era was poor, Jack Johnson's era was poor, Jack Dempsey's era was poor, the Baer-Braddock years were lean, Larry Holmes' era was bad...wouldn't have been as bad if Larry was older & fought with Ali, Frazier, & Foreman, or if he was younger and guys like Witherspoon, Snipes, et al were more experienced, hell there are extremely few cases of really great eras there's Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton, Lyle and there's Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe, Golota, Ruddock, etc.

The point is The Klitschko's are great champions and they can't control who they have to fight against. Wlad wanted Povetkin or Arreola but Povetkin will NEVER fight Wlad and Arreola will be thought of as "washed up" just because of a loss to Vitali & Adamek and it shouldn't be the case, he's a good fighter. People are too fucking picky these days.


I know you're a devoted fan of the Klitschkos. I have no dislike for them, trust me. But you're being a bit blind with your devotion. You won't admit that this is probably the shittiest time period in the history of the HW division, due mostly to the riff-raff that poses as heavyweight fighters nowadays. Why do I say that? Because on top of being mostly "out-of-shape" tubs of lard... most of them come into the ring scared to get KO'ed. It's not a damn sporting event. It's a modern day Christians vs. lions match.

Not only that. This comes at a time when the HW division is needed the most, in order to bring more fans to boxing and counteract this new MMA craze that is taking fans away. Because as you surely know... at least I hope you do... as the heavyweight division goes... so does the popularity of boxing. At least for the casual fan, not the hardcore fans like us.

Just once I'd like someone to go against their biases and say:
"You know... you're right. The HW division IS the shits. What could I have been thinking?"
