Do you honestly think that any HW today is as fast as the likes of Ali? Or that they hit as hard as Foreman? I don't, not at all.
And as for money, there is not as much in boxing anymore due to the interest declining. Ali and Foreman got £5 million each nearly 40 years ago. David Haye only got that last week. And why has the interest in boxing gone?? For me it's because the HW's are crap to watch. Don't get me wrong David Haye is a breath of fresh air to the division, but he is only one man and barring him and the Klitschkos I can't think of many HW's who are in real shape. They all seem to think that heavier is better and it's really ruining the division as lots of them are fat. Hopefully Haye will show the rest that fatter is not better, I mean Arreola for me could be very good if he just lost about 25-30lbs. But he's too obsessed with burgers and other crap foods. Same goes for Solis, its not that long since he was down at 200lbs and winning the olympics, now he's lucky to keep himself down to 260lbs, he's a mess.
The Klitschko's are both good athletes who are always in shape and for them it really is a shame because they are not getting perhaps the credit they are due because the rest are such a mess. As far as Eddie Chambers goes, to me he looks like a guy who should be fighting at 175lbs but due to the state of the HW's he has decided to fight up there and try his luck with naturally bigger men and until he has met someone in shape he has fared very well, but it was clear he was out of shape and out of his depth with Wlad.
The HW's need athletes not fat slobs.
