But still that weight class is the worst in boxing today. It's a motherfucking shame.

Not sure it is the worst to be honest. Middle and Super Middle are pretty thin at the moment, for example.

HW is a lot more entertaining now (or at least has been in recent years) than it was in the 00s IMO.

It is a very frustrating time to be following the sport, not just the heavyweights. You only need to look at the thread titles to see how little is actually going on. Thread after thread of Somebody vs TBA and week after week passing with no announcement of who the TBA is. zzzzzzzzzzzz

You're telling me that heavyweight is less compelling than light flyweight and minimumweight? Man, this thread didn't even deserve a response, I'm wasting my time.

Fury took away all Klitschko's titles only to have the Organisations find strange reasons to take them from him. He has still not lost a fight. I would like to see him fight Usyk without interference from the Organisations.

Well only the IBF did. They ordered him to fight a mandatory. But rematch clause was there.

Had no choice.

The others, he gave away a year later when he retired.

Well, bear in mind that Fury faked going into retirement. Hard to blame the ABC's for stripping belts when you announce your retirement. That was perhaps Fury's fault.

Nothing beats Cruiserweight at being the worst and thinnest division. Outside of Holyfield and Usyk competing in it for a couple of years, the rest of the champions were mediocre.

The heavyweight division is being held up by the bellend king Fury. It’s time we see a undisputed champion.

Fury still has not lost a fight. Who do you think can beat him?

Well, needless to say, if anyone is picking a fighter to beat Fury, it's going to be Usyk.

Somehow I do not see a built-up cruiserweight beating Fury.

funnily enough a built up cruiser much worse than usyk dropped him hard on his arse. it was also a light hitting southpaw who nearly tore fury's face off

dudes gotta actually fight the fights to prove theyre king. we need fury vs the unbeaten, unified champ + olympic gold medalist usyk to prove it.

It’s difficult to say since future hall of famers such as Schwarz, Seferi, Pinianeta and Chisora fell short.

Perhaps top fighters such as Ngannou, George Foreman or maybe a Chisora for the 5th time can dethrone the lineal P4P king named Tyson Fury.

But seriously that bellend needs to fight Usyk so we can see a undisputed champion. And to answer your question; nobody can beat the dosser king, atleast not yet.

I have no problem with that. Looks like Usyk is having a benefit fight first up.

Knocking a fighter down does not count if he does not stay down.
