Arguments for getting rid of the HW division in boxing

[powerpuncher]

I agree that the HW division has had some times where there were basically no good fighters, but the difference i see now mainly is that the toughness and dedication is gone compared to times of old. HWs nowadays get fat and don't take the sport seriously. At least decades ago most of these guys were fighting to try to feed their families. There may be more talent now but not as much dedication.

One of the things I've always thought overblown was how 'heavyweight division runs the sport' thinking. That ended long ago with massive expansion and insta click media to follow boxing and gets the best of both positive and negative press. And honestly wonder about the unavoidable internationalization of the division. Majority of 90's save for who..Lewis? or far less Golota melting down like a crayon on a summer sidewalk was American friendly . Even then the two geezers pushing late 40's did prove they earned a spot. Of course being legends helped also, but Foreman and Holmes if briefly merited mention in comebacks. Lack of quality is our own fault with shite Olympic development and the one..Wilder..who got a medal push turns into one of the most protected mothballed prospects turned trinket holders we have seen. I really don't think the division is a total loss but it would benefit in my eye if Wlad just retired already. And Haye for that matter. Or stay retired, I'm confused as to what he is doing now Parker, Ortiz, Povetkin, Joshua and Wilder show hope for it. I don't even thing Parker v Hubba Bubba Andy Ruiz is bad and could likely turn into a decent scrap.

Don't like the heavyweight division? Don't fucking watch it. Pretty simple fix
