I think the glory days are long gone. There is always a big hope that comes up but then loses like Seth Mitchell and David Price. There is still no one out there to challenge Vlad K. Vitali is now vulnerable due to his age hence why Haye want's a title shot.

I reckon Haye would win. That's who my money woud be on. Can't see the fight happening though sadly.

Good to see Price get an immediate rematch with Thomson so hopefully he will be able to avenge his shock defeat.

^ How do you know that Oscar?

Was shocked by the Price defeat, shame really as I do like him. Hope he can get back on track.

Who do you reckon Haye will fight? Vitali has told him that he needs to get up the rankings to fight him so it need's to be a top 5 opponent.

What's your point about Wilder by the way?

posted on 28/3/13

Manuel Charr perhaps?

Haye is pathetic.

The whole heavyweight division should be scrapped tbf.

Red, u cannot scrap the most legendary division in the sport.

Ppl like 2 see giants collide, as much as I love the mannys and floyds, the sight of a brick shhithouse with deadly skill is a primal thing, we love it. Price, wilder etc have not faced top calibre, but thats symptomatic of the division.

All u needs is 4 or 5 world class boxers in a division, and u have a quality division. The brothers time is up, and the sport now needs excitting talent as opposed to get the job done 442. If u get my analogy!

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?

never forget the days of Riddick big daddy bowe, tyson, Evander holyfield, herbie hyde et al ..... never get that again in my life looks like... i hope I'm wrong.

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 cousin. Think he has something about him. P

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