If I have put HWs - it would be 10 out of 10 HWs (....and it would be much more silly).

They're called other bro, not everyone has a size fetish anyway.

True, and that tells us something. Perhaps the networks will learn it some day; fans want the Heavyweights !

48% of us do I guess. Seems like a big enough # not to be "other," But fair enough.

The thing is this. Heavyweights are slow, have no stamina {often come not in shape (fury, ruiz, kownaki)} into the ring and simply arent entertaining to watch. prime Tyson, prime Joshua, that is entertaining. They wouldve easily made the list and are amongs the most entertaining boxers to watch ever.

Fury bros, kownaki, chubby boy, wilders ugly style, 0 stamina juiced up whyte, i mean they just all non entertaining to watch.

All divisions have boring fights. Fury and Wilder fights are usually highly entertaining. Fury-Wlad of course was an exception.

I've watched Foreman-Lyle over and over again. I think I've only watched Leonard-Benitez once.

Believe me tony, that was also the main reason why eddie never made joshua/fury, cause fury is ugly to watch. He has 0 fans in usa, nobody wants to watch that sh;&:#t.

I.prefer uk fans over usa fans, uk fans bring embiance atmosphere in a arena, where usa fans tend to boo more and not make much noise.

But us boxing fans love entertainmant and repel boringness. Thazs why wladimir and fury sint succesful in usa. Also not wilder with his ugly style.

Usa knows better. Tyson, Tito, Pac, GGG, thats the good stuff. Thats entertainmant.

I'm American and I feel too old to call myself a fan, but Fury was entertaining against Wallin, Cunningham, Wilder etc. I could do without most of his out of ring antics, but that is occasionally entertaining as well. I look very much forward to fights involving the top 6 or so HWs against each other.

The UK has far surpassed the US in boxing fandom. No doubt. Of course, there are excellent fighters from both countries in many divisions and too many to name.

Pac doesn't interest me much anymore. But a good fight involving GGG or Lomachenko is also something I look forward to.

pac trained 100 % for thurman, thats why he lookded so energized against the much younger opponent. pac still is arguably one of the most enteraining boxer to watch, fast, phenomenal stamina workrate explosive power, why did i not put him on my list .

you wanna know who the 6 best heavyweights in the world are right now?
joshua, usyk, ajagba, makhmudov, wilder, ortiz. i would love to have these guys fight against each other. no out of shape boxer, no ugly style, even so wilder at the limit.

GGG is great, shame that he boxed half hearted against canelo.

Watching John Ruiz is a violation of our 8th amendment; it's cruel and unusual punishment.

I like the fact you sit on the edge of your seat, just knowing, and waiting for that "crack!" like a shotgun blast, and the other guy goes down. Really exciting fighter. A hard working, fearless and formidable opponent.
All these guys who focus on the heavyweight division should watch this guy
