How weak is the heavyweight division really?

[ClubberLang]

The division isnt really weak,but the advent of the Superheavyweights,and that plodding eastern european style has made it very boring to watch. Its obviously effective,look who the champs are,but its no fun to watch

This my feeling as well. I think guys like Wlad, Vitali, and even Chagaev would give the top guys of yesteryear a tough fight and may even win just based on their sheer size and technical ability. I mean, someone like Joe Frazier, for instance, probably would never win a title today simply because he wouldn't have the size to compete. But the bigger guys are slower and more tactical, so you don't see much combination punching anymore, thus fights aren't very exciting.
