The young guys NEED to get more experience so they can actually compete vs the top level guys.

kinda byest on my own behalf lyle but i just cant stomach seeing the heavyweight division trying to re-brand itself with big 280+ lumps like peter who will bring no star quality to the division.

Pretty much the same with valuev who despite a decent record brings nothing to the sport as a whole and is not welcome if the sport is to once again succeed on a mainstream level.

Arreola may look like a big tub but he brings genuine excitement to the table and for this division to once again to reign supreme thats pretty important.

The heavyweight division needs....

A star champion who can appear to many as not only exciting but almost invincible

contenders in and around that champion who although may not neccesarily have records like a valuev, chagaev fighting bums from their own country but instead a decent record amongst the great fighters of their generation and ability to beat eachother on their own given night

Attitude - more cockyness and complete arrogance from those who have actually earned the right to act that way.

And more american champions..........PLEASE
