Maybe because the difference doesn't exist. In earlier eras you have guys like Rahman and Moorer becoming lineal champs and guys like Ruddock...
Old Foreman couldn't stop Schulz no reason to think he would stop Parker
Maybe Zhang is better than people thought and it's not a case of modernists vastly overrating Joyce. It's not inconceivable he could still beat...
90s heavyweights are considerably bigger than heavyweights of prior eras so it seems unrealistic to expect prior greats in many eras to compete...
I suspect they are not campaigning at heavyweight because they don't think they can beat the best of the best at that weight not because of guys...
I think Beterbiev has a chance silly to write him off just based on size.
Gassiev and Briedis for example maybe even Michael Hunter. A lot of the guys Klitschko beat were no bigger than cruiserweights size wise and...
Some of the cruiserweights Usyk beat likely beat the best heavyweights on Vitalis resume.
I think Fury lost his lineal claim in the eyes of many when he retired for 3 years so Usyk has as much claim as anyone at this point.
Dillian Whyte has a comparable resume to Wilder arguably even better. Wins over Parker, Chisora and Rivas are comparable to wins over Stiverne...
The version of Sanders Vitali faced was past it and out of shape though
Bowe did very little outside the Holyfield trilogy. It seems like a massive stretch to pick him against someone like Wlad who is far more proven...
Heavyweights today aren't comparable size-wise to those of Tyson's era and he's already fought a guy many would pick to beat Tyson
Matchmaking sucked in the 1990s. There was plenty of talent but by and large the top heavyweights didn't fight each other. The era may have had...
Joshua quit once. It hasn't happened since and he showed plenty of mettle vs Wlad and Usyk. I don't see much evidence for lack of resolve. He...
