    Maybe if joe was the little guy from Nintendos mike Tyson's punch out.....train hard by running a couple of miles by some water front and wear a grey hooded sweater and you'll eventually become champ.

    joe wouldn't get in the ring in his dreams with a HW, even the worst ones like say corrie sanders. even corey sanders tbh. thus is the sheer magnitude of the stupidity of this thread.

    The shot to sh-it spinks with no knees and no desire to win that fought Tyson, or the good version of him?

    Size doesn't mean nothing but it doesn't mean everything either. If it did then Valuev would have ruled this era not the Klitschko's.

    Simply having a size advantage alone is not the deciding factor in the outcome of the fight. The success of non natural heavyweights like Holyfield, RJJ, Toney, Haye and Byrd at heavyweight should prove that weight isn't everything.

    Nothing worse than some idiot poster who just uses size to prove a point. "Oh Wlad, Vitali, Bowe and Lewis were too big to lose to random undersized opponent!" No attempts to breakdown styles, weaknesses or strengths or differences in each era just straight to the size differential. A total lack of insight or understanding on the art of boxing itself.

    I Calzaghe was born in 1880 he would have freak power, lightning fast punches that pulverize bones and some weird legend attached to him "He killed two guys with his bare hands outside of a bar".

    But Calzaghe was active in the modern days, so he must be

    a) lacking skill
    b) have horrible stamina
    c) physically weak

    Since when we pretend a super middleweight to be able to beat an heavyweight? In the '50s, that was possible and happened, but the sport have evolved since then.

    some of the fantasies around here are amusing and sometimes they're just stupid.
