I don't complain about the division probably because I don't rest all my hopes on it to "bring boxing back". There are good fights and bad fights in all weight classes and no division takes more shit than the heavyweights...some of it is deserved but a lot of it isn't.
Sam Peter-Robert Helenius is a crossroads matchup, both fighters have a lot to lose and a lot to gain. Sam Peter is trending down, he's older, he's been beaten convincingly by top fighters, and Helenius is trending upwards he's 27, he's unbeaten, he hasn't really been tested, and I think he'll look to make a statement vs Sam Peter as opposed to just winning the fight which is where things can get exciting.
The big issue with the heavyweight division is that the entertaining fights aren't always on tv and the intriguing matchups don't always live up to the hype.
