The problem people have with the heavyweight division today are
1)The Klitschko's are too dominant
2)American kids are less likely than ever to get involved in boxing
3No current boxer has had close to the charisma or star appeal of Heavyweights from the "golden era's"
I think your delusional personally, if these Heavyweights are so better, why are most of them out of shape and slow ? with all the modern training, there slower and have less stamina.
So if the boxers in the old days, are faster and have better stamina. Without the modern training doesn't that make them look even better ?
The fact that a 46 year old 6'2 Evander Holyfield, was able to beat one of the modern Heavyweight champions, in Nikolai Valuev who is 7'0. But Evander Holyfield was robbed of a decision, tells me that size isn't always better.
Also why do the Heavyweights, lack excitement if there so much better ?
and why doesn't any normal armchair fan even know who the hell the Heavyweight champion currently is ?
