The heavyweight division has been in shambles since Lennox retired, probably earlier. Wladimir is far and away the most skilled in the division, but he could be knocked out by a feather judging by a couple of his fights. Look out for Calvin Brock though. He is undefeated and should get a title shot soon.
Is anyone going to see Spinks get whooped next weekend? After not fighting for over a year after getting knocked out at 147, Spinks is moving up in weight against the title holder at 154 . Roman Karmazin is the real deal and should have no problems with Cory "feather fists" Spinks.

I wish Spinks well, but agree he can't hurt a fly.
But Calvin Brock sucks. He has not looked good in the 5 fights I've watched of his.
Did you see his fight last weekend? BORING.
Liahkov or whatever his name, is very entertaining, as is Brewster.
I think the fighters are not bad, it's just all the politics that bring the actiont o a stand still.

I am a big boxing fan but do not have much interest above 175. I only threw Brock's name out there because I know he is undefeated and ranked fairly high in the division, but I really have no knowledge or interest in the division. I actually tuned in the Boxing After Dark (with Brock) re-run last night, but fell asleep early into Brock's fight, LOL. I read that Brock basically dominated the fight but didn't land much. If you say the fight was that bad and he is the only up-and-comer of the hw's, the division is worse off than I thought.
The best division in boxing right now is by far the welterweights. Despite having a "paper champion" in Baldomir, the division is loaded with talent. Mayweather (P4P #1), Hatton, Collazo, Cotto, Paul Williams and Cintron are all excellent fighters and fun to watch.
It's a shame to see the sport steadily decline, but it seems to be making a comeback, somewhat. In addition to the strong welterweight division, there should also be some great upcoming fights at 154/160 and anything involving the Pac-Man is NEVER boring.
