    well, not much has changed in the heavy weight division since the last time we talked about it...

    ...I think Klitchko could step in any time and take whowever, for the same reasons I mentioned two years ago.

    There needs to be a new weight division....

    1) Heavy weight 190 - 220lbs
    2) Super Heavy weight 220+

    This prevents light heavy weights from stepping up and stepping out of their ideal weight class, like Hollifield and Toney. These lighter guys beef up and slow down for financial, not professional reasons. Which makes for too much clenching because they may beef up, but there is not much they can do to improve lung (cardio) capacity.

    I miss the 1990's boxing. Every major weight class top to bottom was stacked. Used to be my favorite sport. MMA has taken over simply due to better competition.

    imo...boxing never met my expectations...the never had to defend the belt often enough...too much hype vs boxing.....rarely would the match that was demanded occur....but i too enjoyed it...actually have a scar from a bar fight after the mike tyson holyfield match on my hand...not sure if the scar came from the jaw i dismantled or if it came from the solid glass pitcher that the before mentioned dudes girlfriend shattered over my cranium
    lmao
    all over $5 and a baseball cap
    i won the bet and dude didnt pay lol and back then i had less reason only braun....lucky

    Boxing will never be the same again. I used to love it. But MMA shrank the pool of possible combatants. So now instead of Boxing, we have most guys going MMA...

    You'll never have a great era without a large pool of athletes. MMA shrank the pool.

    It would have been interesting to see klitschos fight the heavy weights in the 90's. I'm guessing it would have been a nice mix of passing the belt around depending on style vs style. Maybe klitscho beats Holyfield but gets crushed by tyson for example.. Would have been fun to add them in that mix. But as stand alone heavy weights it's just boring to watch them as there is no competition today as there used to be.

    What is so shocking? Styles make fights. Did you not see Corey sanders and Lamont bruster knock down / KO Wvladimir?

    And I think tyson would have EASILY exposed him the same. Watch YouTube of those fights. I would assume KO within 5 rounds. Wlad has a glass jaw.

    Vlad can't take a punch for sh*t! Don't get me wrong he can do some punching as well! But his form/boxing style actually sucks! He's just a big Mofo that can punch! Lewis out boxed em! But since then there hasn't been any good heavies since... Since the 90's when Tyson was in his prime(b4 the ear biting lol) his opponents were scared to death of him... Did he beat a lot of people sure... We're they any good most not! Lol he intimidated everyone at that time except Buster lol

    Oh I agree 100% he didn't scare Douglas til he knocked em down lol... Holyfield was a good boxer Tyson wasn't... I'd take holy field everytime on technique alone(a lot like a big Hopkins w/a better punch...

    Your talking Klitchko and Jennings right? I'm a Philly boy but think Kitchcko has a great jab w/good lungs(he's gone the distance a few times but it was pretty ugly lol but I don't see Jennings gettin thru his jab and klitchcko will wear him down.... I'm rooting for Jennings though! Lol

    What about you Zagga??

    Ok... I forgot they're actually doing it! Even better! I like Mayweathers countering style which will be effective against a more aggressive Manny!

    However I think Manny is more powerful but may weather can punch too. The main thing is Mayweathers lungs are much better conditioned I think... In Mannys prime maybe a different outcome... But then again Mayweather is getting older too!

    I'll take Mayweather but it's gonna/should be a doozie!

    Ok now you Zagga... Lol

    Yeah I don't see anyone out boxing Mayweather either! If anyone can catch em w/a punch it's Paq, though!
