Heavyweight is the most boring weight division with the exception of wmma

[GOATtalks]

The HWs of this era are too obese. They need steroids

Like who? Would you really call Aspinall, Gane, Pavlovich, Volkov, Blaydes or Almeida obese? lol
Even Lewis had abs in his last fight

Casuals like hw better. My wife always says ag least they punch each other and get ko. Yes they can be boring but two huge dudes slangin will always translate

 

[Craig Hogg]

It's the same in boxing. Most HW fights are boring and the skill level outside of the very best is usually a lot lower than the lower divisions.
A lot of the MMA heavyweights are just fat MWs and LHWs too.

I am amazed how most threads lately is just people shitting on various aspects of mma. Then a fight card comes along, 2 days of pause and then back on shitting. Maybe find a sport you like better, short person with questionable taste?

Not enough fat people in the world i guess. Stop dieting, make hw great again.

LHWs need to bulk up and kick the HWs ass

 

[ThaiSexPills]

It’ll be better now that there’s an actual champion. But yeah, not many dudes are that size. How many dudes are 6’4 and 250 in shape? Not many. It’s destined to be a thin division.

Plus most dudes that would have been heavyweights 20 years ago just cut to LHW. And even that is a thin division.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

I definitely didnt ALWAYS find HW to be boring. Early 10s UFC/Strikeforce and mid 00s Pride had white hot HW scenes.

 

[Chagaev]

I'm excited to watch Aspinall defend and even rematch guys like Pav or Curtis.

Top 5-6HW are not fat or unskilled. The other divisions aren't that great either, there are a lot of old fighters with one foot out the door.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

This era of HW is in the gutter for now but to "always found it boring" is wild. Fuck no.

i wish someone would to make it interesting. ilir did and i think he got shafted a couple of decisions. gus tried. we need a modern LHW to just go up and take it to these absolute nobodies. the fedor / cain gameplan. short and sweet, but with the output at HW. the speed. make it easy.

WW is way better division

I ain’t ever seen a lady heavyweight knock someone out then chug a beer out of a shoe

HW boxing is apsolutely crazy amongst contenders. It is nuts. No weight limit. Contenders are all master with +50 fights since amy days. Usyk got like 350 fights.

 

[Trabaho]

This was 9 guys in their primes

 

[NoSmilez]

People aren't meant to be that big. The naturally big guys get poached for other sports.

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

HW is perhaps at an all time low with respect to modern MMA. I was hoping for a Jon/Aspinall fight and with that gone there really isn't a highlight matchup. Hopefully we cycle back around soon.

Agreed heavily with you on the cycling part, train on cycling, fights are off-cycle,
Post fight recovery it’s GH and eating anadrol, wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[2004 account]

It wasn't like that in pride, it's a ufc thing. They've dropped the ball on the best division

lol, you’re dense. Of course WW is better, it’s not really even debatable. But that doesn’t mean all HW’s are obese blops
