When will we have a really exciting heavyweight again?
The last time we had a really exciting heavyweight the Duke of Normandy (William The Conqueror/William I) defeated king Harold Godwinson (Harold II) at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 which is depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry with Halley's Comet, King Harold and Edward The Confessor and all that, William's half brother Bishop Odo commissioned the Bayeux Tapestry, King Harold defeated Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge which happened on month before the Battle of Hastings, William The Conqueror commissioned the ancient document/survey/census the Domesday Book in 1086 and also commissioned the Tower of London in 1078 and then the Plantaganets Richard The Lionheart (Richard I) fought Sladin during the seriesof Battles/Holy Wars the Crusades in 1193 and ten there was a king's ransom for Richard in 1194 before he died in 1199 and then his brother John asceding the throne and sealing the Magna Carta (great charter in Latin) at Runnymede in 1215 before he lost the Crown Jewels in the Wash in and then dying in 1216. Okay it hasn't been that long but it has been a while lol. Although David Haye could change all that if he beats the Klitschkos althoguh I am a fan of the Klitschkos' fighting ability. I always get all o this right on quizzes as I have a degree in history.
