One things for sure, Briedis would not have been a top heavy.
Usyk looked far better v Briedis than Jai did and Jai couldn`t afford to get tagged as easy as that against a top heavyweight.
Curry wobbled McCallum too.
Loma struggles with strength and power at 135, 140 is too big a division for him.
Valuev couldn`t match Zhang`s kind of power.
Oh okay, also at 5`11 Taylor is too big for 140 anyway.
Sorry but I didn`t see the tanet in Valuev at all, that`s just my personal opion, that whole era was crap, and the heavyweight division was awful...
Loma only started struggling at 135, he`s not strong enough for a strong 140lbs fighter, Ball was hurt several times in his last fight against a...
Loma is better than Shakur and is better than Hatton was however, he might be too small to deal with Hatton`s pressure and body shots.
Haye was nowhere near Usyk or Holy`s level, but there`s no doubt Jai would have dominated a slow heavy like Valuev though.
Evander was a great fighte with an amazing chin, Jai has been hurt at cruiserweight, Usyk is far better P4P than Jai and far quicker too.
The point is if heavyweights land the punches Briedes did in those last 3 rounds then Jai will be stopped, he`s very sloppy.
Valuev was beaten easily by Haye, he didn`t land a punch all fight, Wilder had faster hands than Valuev and far more power, Fury would have jabbed...
Zhang was an olympian, Valuev wouldn`t have got near an olmpic team as an amtuer, could you imagine Valuev boxing v AJ?
Zhang`s hands are far quicker than Valuev`s were and he`s far more skilled, have you even seen him fight? Valuev was slow as hell, he was awful.
