    kind of a random comparison but it popped into my head.

    I think so.

    kind of speaks to the "quality" of the heavyweight division

    I rate Golota but he wasn't as compact as Brazier

    Power and durability plays more of a part in the heavyweight division than great overall skills. You just have to possess enough skill to make it work for you, see Lennox Lewis for example.

    Some of the most skilled heavyweights would be seen as mediocre technicians when compared to smaller men.
