Honest question...what is wrong with the heavyweight division right now

. Feels like one of the more CF divisions going. Outside of Zhang vs Joyce recently and Jared Anderson upcoming fight, what am I looking forward to

. Is it the 4 times the charm return of Adam Kownacki next month? I could randomly throw a dart at a top 10 list from the 90's and be much much more excited.
For many casuals, this is the only division that matters. Which is worrisome, if boxing is trying to make hardcore fans out of casuals. In other words... it's the division in boxing with the highest visibility... but unfortunately most of the time, one of the worst divisions in boxing.
Back in the Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Lennox Lewis days it was much easier to get excited about the heavyweights. Then Wlad came along, and put fans into a coma for over a decade.
For me, personally... I turned off the heavyweights until the fight that brought the division back for me:
Joshua vs Wlad.
Come to realize that was only a
momentary blip in my interest. After that we've been treated with the incessant clowning mind games of Mr. Unstable (Tyson Fury)... and a whole host of forgettable nobodies marching up and down the heavyweight rankings.
