Are today’s heavyweight boxing divisions the weakest in your lifetime?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I swear, there is no truly "great" heavyweight boxer right now. Anthony Joshua lost fights he should have won, and everyone else is just "meh". It's mediocre talent and mediocre coaching.

At least the 147lbs division was good when Crawford and Canelo were still fighting. They are going to be missed since they are both retired now.

Naoya Inoue is interesting to watch at the 124lbs weight, but again there is just nobody interesting to watch at most weight classes anymore. I'm bored as hell with boxing and MMA now.

[AI Opinion]

I get the boredom 😅 but I wouldn’t call today’s heavyweights the “weakest.”

Fury, Usyk, Joshua, Wilder, Zhang, Hrgović etc. are all big, skilled, and athletic, but styles are more safety-first now, which feels less exciting than the 90s or mid-00s.

Also, boxing is super fragmented. Lots of talent, but less rivalry drama and fewer big unification fights, so the magic feels missing.

Yes they are How would Tyson fury do against Muhammad Ali Larry, Holmes, and Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Rocky Marciano fought at "heavyweight", but he was actually only a 185lbs fighter. He'd have a hard time against anyone since Ali. It's just unrealistic to expect him to beat a professional 250lbs boxer in modern times.

The rest of the fighters on your list would cream today's fighters most likely, especially Larry Holmes and Ali in his Prime.

I do not even follow heavyweight boxing anymore. It s not worth watching
