FAO: true believers in the supremacy of the heavyweight division. If all three favorites lose...

Some of the guys who got a shot at Wlad wouldn't crack the top 10 now so its def been worse.

 

I selected if 2 lose but TBH, if Joshua loses (to anyone other than Wilder or Fury) it would be pretty telling. Joshua has the most wins over the most ranked bodies currently and is considered "the standard bearer" of the division.

 

The way these fights are set up is to make sure the big 3 win. Non of their opponents is even remotely dangerous.
Only Breazele has a chance, but everyone has a chance against donkey.

 

The anti-heavyweight agenda is ridiculous.

 

Personally, near 7ft behemoths(some of whom are freakish enough to dance around a bit) beating the **** out of each other is very worth seeing.The limitations the division only makes it more so. Watching Price gas after 4 rounds without fail is a truly marvelous sight.

 

Ive not voted cuz i already know it isnt great. But what it is is competitive and that makes up for it. It could have 1 great and be boring, 2 greats that avoid each other and its boring or no greats but enough of a similar enough level to make it competitive. If the PBC wernt such a bunch of jerks or chickens we would be getting most the big fights in the division.

Dont get me wrong though, i always shake my head when i see any HW in somebodys P4P list and as a big fan of Anthony Joshua i include him too, hes decent, the best in the division but he aint no P4Per. Saying that i do believe alot of people have lost the plot with what they do and dont take in to consideration regarding P4P lists.

 

are you hopeful about the future with all the elite prospects coming through.

 

Uh ok then.

 

You don’t get it.

 

The Heavyweight division is the open division. Thus, there is no handicap. The lower the weight limit the higher the handicap you are competing with.

You did say that HW is p4p the worst division in boxing. So I'm assuming you would admit that they are H2H the best fighters in the world. Along with Usyk who dominated Crusierweight.

It's hard to rate HW's p4p because there is no weight cap. It's simply about maximizing H2H abilities, poundage be damned.

Make no mistake. The big 3 along with Usyk are the best fighters in the world. Better than Crawford, better than Loma, better than anybody.

 

Boxing at its core is one man ramming his gloved fist into the torso or head of his opponent. With the intention and goal of causing enough bodily harm to him that he cannot continue the bout.

How you accomplish said goal is just an aesthetic.

 

The HW division can also be strategic too. There is less room for error. If you let any big punching HW or Cruiserweight land flush on you the fight is over and you're in for a hellacious scramble to survive. And you cannot just go out there and just launch 1000 power shots Aaron Pryor style either because you will gas and get stopped.

 

Thats not how P4P works.

If it was all the HWs would be ranked at the top and a guy like Inoue wouldn't make the top 50.
