Do you see what im getting at here ?? even if thhose era's wern't the strongest Liston, Holmes, Tyson, would take risks to be great unlike Wlad IMO, the Heavyweight division isn't as popular because except for Wlad who is far too cautious and looks to be terrified of getting hit IMO, most of the Heavyweights skill level wise are piss poor and 95 percent of the fights are terrible and sloppy affairs. And Taeth no offence but you mentioned Peter, Valuev, in the same sentence as being *talented*. No offence but are you kidding me ?? Valuev is horrible and only ever got anywhere by being a freak of nature, he got gift decision's against John Ruiz, Larry Donald, for crying out loud. Peter is one dimensional and his defense is terrible and his punches are so wide and sloppy. He got a gift decision against a natural Super Middleweight, that just shows you what kind of skill level Peter is at. Like i said earlier the only real skilled Heavyweight out there is Wladimir Klitschko and he is far too cautious and he clinches like an octopus. You say Holmes and Liston era's were horrible, but i'll tell you something now i would pick those eras over the load of rubbish we got now any day of the week.

    My point exactly but I figured everyone would know that without having top go into depth....Seems Taeth is the only one who had to make an arguement and go off track...as usual

    problem i find with this batch of heavys is that there mostly fat........... they mostly have soft builds, theres no real athlets................ they mostly look like the big guy in the local pub, as a result there slow and sluggish and lack stamina

    its about time heavyweights look like they train
