Are there any heavyweights that you do like? or LOVE even??? lol There are some ripped, in shape heavyweights out there bro let's not generalize. It is accepted that heavyweights will carry a bit more fat than other divisions because they don't have to cut weight unless they are Fury,
I was hopeful about Óscar Rivas before inactivity and injury essentially ruined his prime. Not holding my breath now. I don't care about them being in shape, per se. My problem is that heavyweights are for the most part unskilled plodders. And yes I realize that outlier Tyson Fury isn't one, but he still isn't some "master boxer" - he only seems like one because he's in there with lumbering ogres. Anybody with a shred of agility will resemble Willie Pep against those people, and fans are so flabbergasted to see a man of Fury's size actually dancing on his toes it leads to him being called a supreme ring technician when honestly someone like Román González or GGG is 10,000,000x more skilled.
Gotcha. Personally I'm rooting for Breazeale, I don't really like him at all, I think he likely gets sparked and I've even gone off on tangents stating he doesn't necessarily even deserve a shot, but this entire situation Fury/Wilder/Joshua and (Wilder in particular) have become completely unbearable to me. I'm looking for something that completely messes up everyone's plans to happen. Here's to the underdogs *Lifts champagne glass*
You aboard the Usyk Unification Unicycle? This content is protected Correction, whoever asked earlier: that is the one heavyweight I care about. (and he hasn't even officially made his divisional debut yet)
Old comment but I think it still holds true for me. I think his skillset is definitely there to potentially beat everyone. I'm still concerned of the physical dimensions of Usyk vs. the very top guys. He's only 6'3 and while I can see him walking Wilder into something, I'm having a hard time seeing him do the same vs. Joshua and Fury. He's gonna school Takam though
I'm with you guys. Anything that shakes up - or shatters - the top HW tier - I am all for it. Badly needs something dramatic to happen.
Please make it happen. Actually I would like it if Fury has like a back or hamstring injury, and just hides it thinking he can beat such a obvious pushover and then can hardly move at fight night losing a decsion or even fluke stoppage. Afterwards if they come up with the injury excuse nobody but his biggest fans believe it, and Schwarz loses his very next fight against another nobody after pulling out of the rematch with some half assed excuse, just to screw up every plan that was in place after Fury signed his deal.
It would mean we'd have to be looking for unusually large anonymous bets placed on Tyson losing coming from a Midlands IP address.
Unlike Schwarz Mezencev had only had a handful of amateur fight and unlike Schwarz he had only fought some czech no-hopers in the pro business.Admittingly, Mezencev is a decent cruiser weight talent.Nonetheless,he was a greenhorn when he fought Schwarz, a far bigger and far more experienced fighter than the bloody young russian.He almost schooled the big german in the early rounds.
