Bingo! The champ is Klitschko. It was a very entertaining bout but not the real championship fight.
The problem with the heavyweights isn't that they are so bad, or even worse than has been the historical norm [remember Joe Louis's Bum of the Month?], it is that fans got spoiled by two great eras in heavyweight boxing during the last 40 years: the 1970s Ali-Frazier-Foreman-Norton etc. era [probably the greatest 5-10 years in the division's history] and the 1990s Tyson-Holyfield-Lewis-Bowe era.
I also don't think UFC takes audience from boxing. They are very different sports.
