It does suck now.

But when and if Wlad, Fury, Wilder, Parker, Povetkin, Pulev and Joshua fight each other it will be opposite of "suck."
Exactly.

The division is (IMO):

1 Fury
2 Klitschko
3 Povetkin
4 Wilder
5 Ortiz (you missed him out)
6 Joshua
7 Parker
8 Pulev


Any fights made between any of these guys are big and genuine top fights.

Promoters need to shape up and make fights happen between this bunch.

There are super fights available! They just rarely get made! It is a good division, but it's too much of a business now, few risks are taken. Protecting records and demanding ridiculous purses are the main reasons why the best don't fight the best.

Well Fury-Klitschko, Klitschko-Pulev, and Klitschko-Povetkin have happened. Joshua, Parker and Ortiz have only recently became considered top fighters. Overall they're not doing to bad.

Agreed I did forget to put Ortiz in there. He should be in there.
