The heavyweight division is pretty dull especially in the U.S.

The division is dominated by a pair of Ukrainian brothers who stand at about six and a half feet and weight between 240-250 real big boys who are in some of the best shape you've ever seen a fighter. The fight in the slowest defensive style you've ever seen, very boring.

I am a fan of Mexican American fighter (an unheard of combination in a heavyweight) Chris Arreola. He isn't amazingly skilled, nor exceptionally gifted physically but he got a more heart in the ring than any other fighter I can think of.
