Sad to see this once great division in the state it is.
Do any of you think it will return to it's former greatness? Or are those days gone?
It seems the division needs another Mike Tyson. Some young, explosive knock-out artist, the kinda guy that stands out. This division puts the sport on the map.
I'd like to see Haye v Vitali this year, as a side point.
Thoughts?
Heavyweight Division..

Spot on Mike.
Haye beating Vitali will blow the division open. I'm confident he'll win.

Deontay Wilder is a future (unified) world heavyweight champion.
27 wins - 27 KO's. (pretty much nearly all of them vs unknown fighters)
We'll see how how he goes vs Audley Harrison. He still pretty unknown to the UK fans.
Over 2 metres tall & incredibly good shape for a heavyweight.
Will face Audley Harrison in Sheffield Motorpoint arena on 27th April.

^ He seems abit odd to me. I know he couldn't have done much more, but he doesn't look like a great boxer. More of an out and out powerhouse.
We will see, good prospect.

Is the heavyweight division as bad as everyone says? I'm not saying it's great but everyone says it's the worst it's ever been and i don't think it is.
We have two dominant, competent champions (Klitschkos) unlike in the 80's where you had loads of contenders become short term champions.
What about the 50s? We had the olympic champion fight the world champion on his pro debut. Ridiculous!
Before that you had Marciano who defended his title against Walcott (old) Ezzard Charles (light heavyweight) and Archie Moore (old light heavyweight).
The 60s were good with Ali and Liston, as were the 70s but were other decades particularly stronger?

the bowe-holyfield fights were epic !
shame bowe never faced a prime tyson or lewis (as a pro)
tyson and lewis although similar in age peaked at different times in their career.

tyson fury looked like a pub brawler to me at the weekend..
a fully grown heavyweight with a bit of ability would have knocked him out sparko !
very exciting heavyweight fight ...but v low on quality imo

I like the look of Fury's woman. Think there is something about her.
