    You are right MrBig. HW division has never been this bad. If HW division was the only division in boxing, I would look for another sport.
    Agree 100%.

    Its pretty crap, still. Decent young guns in the distance maybe with Perez, Jennings, Wilder, Ruiz jr, Glazkov, TBA, Dusty Trunks, Kenhe Getup, etc...but maybe thats just putting lipstick on a pig. I think it'll open up when the brothers move on.

    I miss the 90's

    Even though 90s wasnt such a great era , I still miss it.. guys like lewis, bowe, holy, and even ruddock were just on a whole different level compared to the guys today..

    If these guys were around in the 90s, Mike perez would be a banana boat maker in cuba, and wilder... who gives a fuck about him, glazkov would be fighting on Thunderbox, Ruiz jr would be the mexican pillsberry doughboy selling hotdogs at fight events, and arreola would be taking our orders at Dell Taco..

    That's how irrelevant they would be in the boxing world.

    I miss everything about the 90s..

    I was just pulling random shit off the shelf the other night, must have been something in the water then with explosive heavys but thin chins Jeremy Williams, Phil Jackson, Seldon, Morrison, Stewart etc. It was just exciting, even the second tier guys below a Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe. Young contenders/pretenders FOUGHT each other

    Heavyweight boxing will always have the perception of being weak untill a crop of top Americans emerge.

    That is true for most Americans but not me. I love David Haye and Lennox Lewis. I'm not putting Haye on the same level as Lewis but he does have the goods. It just he hasn't fought very often over the years. I don't care where you're from. If you can fight you're the man in my eyes.

    I think you can make a case for the 90's era being stronger or the 00's. And Mike Tyson would have always been a factor.

    All other eras prior would be completely decimated imo by the current generation.
