Spoiler: Heavyweight boxing sucks

[Herr Matzat]

don´t watch it then

brid looks kinda dead

[Liam]

I don't.

The lower division stuff is much better.

Corey Sanders will kick his ass, thats how fucking shit he is.

[Herr Matzat]

bird dident loose in 6 years before this, thats how shit he is

[Liam]

That fact that Klitschko has lost 2 of his last seven matches (or something like that) YET is still championship contender potential shows how farcical it is.

Even the bloke who beat Harrison not too long ago is being touted for a shot at a World title after beating Harrison, who has beat no-one of note.

The mould of a heavyweight boxer seems to have changed too in recent times. They seem very sluggish and slow compared to the heavyweights of yesteryear.

Lennox Lewis may well go down as the last great heavyweight boxer. And the second half of his career saw him surrounded by a load of jobbers...

Compare that to the middleweights, welterweights and the like who have amazing competition for titles and great fights! Joe Calzaghe and Richie Hatton for example

Probably the best two boxers Britain have but who is it that gets all the TV time? Harrison.... *yawns*

Lucky that's starting to change, and Amir Khan is starting to put in good performance...

I love the classic heavyweights...this crop of heavyweights is just abysmal.

As for the lower divisions, I'd like to see Ricky Hatton fight in the US. I've heard a lot about him and he sounds like a very exciting fighter. I'd absolutely mark for Hatton v. Gatti or something to that extent

[Guest Heresy]

Hatton is moving up a division, so he should be mixing it up with a few more of the so-called big guns.
