Joshua 6'6 245ish Fury(if he returns) 6'8 250ish Wilder 6'7 225ish Parker 6'4 240ish Pulev 6'5 250ish Ortiz 6'4 240ish When exactly did the era end?
This could be called the super heavy era though I don't like the name. Probably because small heavyweights don't have a blueprint for fighting taller guys without having stamina. Small Heavies need stamina, movement, enough power and better skills to compete. Smaller the heavy the better the skills have to be so if you're not Mike Tyson good luck. Because of that you're not seeing many of them in the top 10. Not much hope for cruiserweights. I'm sure some will try it'll keep things interesting.
If you want to see small heavyweights look at the cruiserweight division. The top 5 in Cruiserweights could defeat 98 percent of the top ten in heavyweights.
No the problem is people like you who think 170 pound "heavyweights" would beat 6'3 to 6'6 230 to 250 pound heavyweights.
When did it start? As I stated every since Foreman won the title 40 years ago pretty much every contender and champions with the exception of Mike Tyson was between 6'3 and 6'6 and between 220 to 250.
ah so the problem is wat people "THINK" rather than what people SEE when they see gassing fatties bombing out of fights in justa few rounds. Yeah I can see why you think its about what is THOUGHT and not what is SEEN.
It's wishful thinking to say cruiserweights have a chance at heavyweight. Where's the evidence of that?
