What exactly is the thrust of your argument? I feel it lacks focus. If you're saying that heavyweights now are less athletic than past fighters...
I'd probably put him up there, to be honest. I can't think of too many fighters who could detonate a left hook quite so savagely as the Duke....
Too many questions marks going on with Wlad to make a firm prediction. Wlad at his best dispatches of Ortiz quite handily, but if their recent...

Foreman had more heavy handedness and innate power but was hampered by his lack of speed and sloppy technique. Shavers was more explosive and...
