I dont have problem with K brothers, but other are sad bunch, seriously when you have someone like Helenious hyped as something special its sad and tells alot about HWs, he doesnt have any skill none, Chisora ****ing out boxed him and got robbed!
Definitely one of the worst era's in boxing history. We all know it. The only people trying to say otherwise are hardcore Klit fanatics who know their heroes will never be ATGs because they've never beaten anybody that matters.
The best heavies pre 1962- and lets look at statistics J. Louis 6'2 - Mean championship weight - 203 pounds (5484 pounds divided by 27 title fights) J. Johnson 6'1 1/4 - Mean champ wgt -209 pounds (1884 by 9 title fights) G. Tunney 6'0 1/2 -Mean champ wgt - 190 pounds (570 by 3 title fights) J. Dempsey 6'0 3/4 - Mean champ wgt - 189 pounds (1513 by 8 title fights) R. Marciano 5'10 - Mean champ wgt - 186 pounds (1304 by 7 title fights) J. J. Jeffries 6'1 - Mean champ wgt - 219 pounds ( 1972 by 9 title fights J.J. Walcott 6'0 - Mean champ wgt - 195 pounds (1366 by 7 title fights) F. Patterson 5'11 1/2 - Mean champ weight - 187 pounds (2440 by 13 title fights) E. Charles 6'0 - Mean champ wgt - 185 1/2 pounds (1672 by 9 title fights) Interesting

Seems like most of the references in this discussion have been to people who are not on this list. I think most of these guys usually show up in shape to fight and give it a go. Even Arreola, fat as he is, is pretty tough IMO.
You can throw those statistics out the window George Foreman was fighting heavier guys in the 90's than in the 70's Yet not one fighter from the 90's could put him on his ass. In the 70's three different fighters (Ali,Young & Lyle) had him hurt and ready to go Foreman was fresh as a daisy when Lyle had him hurt too Just because your heavier does not mean you hit harder
Put Solis and Haye in that list as they should be in place of Dimitrenko and Arreola and that's a very strong list.
Foreman never fought the following hard punchers from 87 to 87- R. Bowe M. Tyson R. Ruddock D. Tua L. Lewis Ali and Young arent bigger punchers than those listed men.....Foreman punched himself out.
Think is some of this new "fans" of boxing do not realize that, its not more weight automatically more power at all, but you can not explain that to them, for them its only bigger fighter is better and thats it, they dont realize that with that talk they just downgrade k brothers, they are good because of skill not their size, size does help but you have to have good skill to use it!!! Helenious is bih and he is **** so thats end of size talk!
lol what a FAIL! look at your poll fool, it shows the truth. OP made a thread to prove his point and included a poll to think it'd help and the exact opposite happened..... a blind man could tell this is the worst heavy era in memory. there isn't and hasn't been a legit threat to the Klits for 10 years and Wlad still managed to KTFO by bums
Are you comparing Frazier to Corrie Sanders? ahahhahaha ahahhahahah ahhahahahahhaa hahahahahahhahaa how did Wlad do in his rematch, i forgot?
Or any other era. Again, taking a snapshot of the top ten of any era and it looks bad. The Ring magazine's top ten from 1970: #1 Joe Frazier #2 Muhammad Ali #3 George Foreman #4 Oscar Bonavena (5'10, 205lb, was at the end of his career) #5 Jerry Quarry (small Curiserweight fighter, cut easy) #6 Mac Foster (never beat a top fighter,) #7 Henry Cooper (old holdover from the 50's, never beat a top fighter) #8 George Chuvalo (good chin vs LHW/CW's, 59-16-2 at the time) #9 Sonny Liston (mob backed, just been KO'd by bum Leotis Martin) #10 Jose M Urtain (was Ko'd by many bums, 56-11-4) #11 Jose L Garcia (started at SMW, a grossly over weight bum)
