Am I Missing Something

The Klitschkos arent killingthe divison. They are just betterbthan whats around currently. Are we supposed to hope that they retire rather than continue beating people?

Its a lack of promotion and keeping a flow of young fighters coming in. Boxing is a hard sport and the best fighters are only going to come from the poorer countires where it is a relatively easier way to make money and get themselves out of poverty. Unfortunately for the heavyweight division, the poor countries that produce boxers are generally small men. Unless someone goes and scouts somewhere like Nigeria for a big man that can fight (that would probably be bonkers as they are from Nigeria), then things wont change much.

Good points genetics is moving we are going soft with no hunger.

In regards Wald its also a bit of a reflection on the skill levels of HW's these days that none can work him out.

Still good luck to them both, minimalism is an art too.
