Imagine an era only of hw punchers

Careers would be shorter, fans would get their monies worth, boxing more popular.

 

Or they'd all just avoid each other, posture a lot, and the heavyweight division would be disbanded.

 

I would be interesting, or the guys would learn how to be more defensive and some would not be punchers anymore.

 

Boxing would eventually devolve into a parody of it's former self...it would become a cartoonish, excessively brutal rock em/sock em type of entertainment.

 

Ain't no one getting through that era with out a L on there record .

 

Prediction: Most of them would end up working on their defensive skills, and they'd be more careful in the ring. Would lead to a lot of slower, tactical fights (at least in the early rounds), due to the respect these guys would have for their opponents' punching power.

 

What a threat

You could open up a hospital specialized on concussion, broken ribs, liver failure and fractured jaws! A couple of dentists on board of course

 

Great List, but I would put Corrie Sanders in there as well.

 

This isn't just a division with punchers; its division with great fighters. I should also add that despite there being a significant amount of punching power in that list, assuming these guys came up at the same time in the same division- we'd probably get desensitized to punching power. The elite ones of the group would stand based on the quality of their wins.

 

Although punchers can adjust. Look at Tommy Morrison..

yeah but when two punchers get together it is funny how both guys hold back being tentative of being countered. Some people think Hearns vs. Mugabi would have been a war, but I don't think so. I think both guys might have sat back and tried to counterpunch with Hearns being faster and landing and winning, but being at risk. A fight like Tyson vs. Foreman is more of a clash since neither guy was a guy who backed up.. Morrison is on the list here and he could box a little, with Foreman at least. I thought Foreman would knock Morrison out in that fight. I think fighters walk in more if the opponent is backing up.
