I'd say pretty weak some fighters are talented but there too lazy to train, the fights are boring and alot of the fights for me aren't very skilled affairs. Most of the Heavyweight fights consist of hugging/mauling certainly not what i would call skill.
And it doesn't help that the best Heavyweight in the world isn't fan friendly either, it also speaks volumes that two former Middleweights in the last year. Have had a crack at the Heavyweights, would that have happened years ago ? no way.
There is a few upcoming Heavyweight talents but overall the Heavyweight division, is probably the weakest its been since the 80s, but atleast in the 80s you had skilled Heavyweights. Although they threw there career down the toilet.
But i would put money on the lost talent of the 80s Greg Page, Tony Tubbs, Tim Witherspoon, Tony Tucker, ETC. Beating most of the Heavyweights today. Infact i'd think they would all own a piece of the Heavyweight title.
