    That is the biggest issue for any Cruiser, both Fury & Wilder are fast for Heavyweights
    • Defense: Height-Reach-Speed
    • Power: Height-Reach-Speed
    • KD Resistance: Biggest Weight (can't get up from KDs easily)
    • KO Resistance: Natural Weight

    As Aydamn has already tried to explain to you, it's a cubic scale - not lineal.

    If you take 147 lbs Hearns and enlarge him to 8'02" his weight would be over 350 lbs!

    8'02"/6'1 = 1.34
    1.34x1.34x1.34 = 2.40
    147x2.40 = 352.8

    Scale up
    • 6'01" Thomas Hearns to 200 lbs
    • 5'10" Carlos Zarate to 200lbs
    Patiently...Awaiting the result...

    Hearns scaled up to 200 lbs:

    200/147 = 1.36
    Cubic root of 1.36 = 1.108
    6'01"x 1.108 = 6'9"

    Now that you know how it's done, I'm sure you can figure out, how tall a 200 lbs Zarate would be.

    Like a bigger version of that beanpole at light welter who fought on the undercard, the commentators in the UK actually made an ironic joke that at 6'4 he could try and fight Wilder.

    Hearns got worse and worse the higher up in weight he went despite being brilliant v Hagler, he was far less effective at 168 and 175.

    Usyk proved he`s light years better than Gassiev, he`s too easy to hit to fight at heavy.

    I believe ive any top level fighter who comes in as the aggressor has a great chance of beating Wilder. He can't box going backwards. All you have to do is close the distance and he can't set the right hand up.

    Any top cruiser could do him.

    He`s too easy to hit and has a massive reach disadvantage.

    He caught Fury was some good right hands, but Fury rode them when most fighters couldn`t.

    • Every Sub-Cruiser One Punch KO Artist is a Beanpole
    • Every Sub-Cruiser Beanpole is not a One Punch KO Artist
    In the heavyweight one punch KO artists don't necessarily have to be bean-poles, because they don't have weight restrictions (the extra weight will not help improve KO power)
    • 215 lbs Mike Tyson punches as hard as 239 lbs Mike Tyson
    • 217 lbs George Foreman punches as hard as 263 lbs George Foreman
    A scaled-up 6'09" version version of Joe Louis will be the G.O.A.T Heavyweight in many categories starting with Punching power.

    Deontay Wilder at 200lbs is thicker built than Thomas Hearns at 147, so there is still room to improve in the Heavyweight.

    For now Deontay Wilder frame-speed-fearless-dominance makes him the Greatest Puncher of Boxing history.
