The heavyweight division needs excitement

[jmbtandy]

There are plenty of name fighters out there who are good and can add depth to the division but seemingly no place where they can catch the eye of the public and no one willing to make the matchups.

top level: Wlad, Sam Peter, Vitali, Sultan, Chagaev, and to a faaaaar lesser extent Valuev

Old vets: Golota, Rahman, Briggs, Brewster, Ruiz, Lyakhovich, Virchis, Minto, Skelton, Sprott, Danny Williams, Krasniqi, Sinan Samil Sam, Fres Oquendo, Jameel McCline, Larry Donald, Ray Austin, Domonick Guinn

young/untested fighters: Dimitrenko, Solis, Chambers, Arreola, Witherspoon, Fields (you laugh but hell I'd like to see him fight someone worth a damn), Kevin Johnson, Oleg Platov, Albert Sosnowski, Roman Greenburg, Malik Scott, Denis Boytsov, Mike Marrone, Alonzo Butler, JD Chapman, and on and on.

Tell me you can't find some matches between those guys

Sorry... this list does nothing for me. Other than Wladimir and Sam Peter, none of the active HW's thrill me all that much. And Peter still needs a lot of polishing. Give me 160 and 147 any day of the week.

By the way... Wlad and Sultan. Didn't they just have a snoozefest of a "fight" not too long ago? Naw-w-w-w.... the big guy division is a bore right now.

the only one on that list that looks halfway decent is Denis Boytsov, he is the only one that moves, but stick him in with one of the giants and he will probably lose. Did you really mention JD Chapman, wow have you seen him fight, and Tye Fields that is crazy he fights like a drunken fat guy in a bar, Go back and do some more research
