How would Dillian Whyte, Dominick Breazeale, Duhaupas and other HW second-raters do in the eras of Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey? Do you give them any chance vs champions?
Well, let's be honest....breazeale beats no-one considered champions from those eras. He's just a high guard and a counter-punch once every few years guy. Even with the huge weight advantage, he does nothing all fight against the top guys from those eras. Dillian Whyte is an interesting one, he likes to get in a brawl. I'd give whyte's aggressive style a good chance considering the massive weight advantage. A 250lbs Whyte causes serious problems for those 190lbs heavyweights from those eras. Whereas breazeale struggles much more against the likes of Dempsey, simply because he sits back too much which always helps the smaller guy. It gives the intelligent boxers from that era a good chance to win on points against breazeale. Whyte comes forward which gives him the advantage against guys way smaller than him so although those older guys are better boxers than whyte, I think it's too much for them to deal with a 250lbs brawler. It's the same case for people like Takam. The second-rate warriors/brawlers of this era favour very well against the smaller heavyweights of that era. Any current heavyweight who is known more for defending up close, like breazeale is vulnerable to a points loss by those smaller heavyweights.
