I will say this, both the Klitschko's have been dominant enough to be compared to what other Great heavyweights have done but their opposition lacks the danger and their fights lack the drama that the likes of Lewis, Holyfield, Holmes, and of course Ali/Frazier/Foreman faced. It's not 100% their fault...they have to fight who is out there and right now it's not a lot. I'm surprised they can keep their focus

Ive been told many a time from those inside and outside the sport it is simply a case of boxing losing its heavyweight talent to the NFL?

Any truth in this??
