Heavyweights still don't get near the credit they deserve. The pound for pound thing is a joke.
Have you seen heavyweight fighting of the past 10 years? The quality is horrible.
Most of the athletes that would make great heavyweight fighters are in the NFL and NBA.

Even as bad as it has been (no where near as bad as the late 80s when Tyson ruled basically unchallenged), it is still by far the most difficult. I've routinely watched heavyweights give up more than 50lbs to an opponent. Tyson Fury is 6'9, there was a 7ft Russian heavyweight. Could you imagine a middleweight or lower division guy giving up over 6 inches in height and 50 lbs in weight to an opponent? Mayweather wouldn't even go up 8 to fight GGG..
