    The new heavy paradigm is the 6 foot 4 guy with 80 + or - inch reach and 230 pounds. You can't argue with that or the effect it has on the division. You can't argue that yesteryear's paradigm has not been toppled.

    Behold the post-modern era.

    Who is the brave 186 pounder who will take one of these champion dreadnaughts into deep water and drown them? I haven't seen one lately. We may have a one-off kind of achievement, a bauble snatcher who gets a brief snippet in the sunshine, but even that guy seems to have disappeared.

    Yes. That's is what I see...Fitz is taking multiple blows and his head to being pitched back and forth and side to side.

    Is there any way to slow down the sequence?

    5 or 3 punch combo, all flashy stuff but it is the guy who is standing at the end who is the winner, that was the true Kernow Warrior, Robert James "Bob" Fitzsimmons, born at 61 Wendron Street, Helston, Cornwall UK.

    The big guys can't fight and could not fight the championship distance. The poor fans are so deluded they think they are seeing skills. Very sad state we have in the hwt division. WWE mentality rules.

    if you are talking about today's big guys though, I would still take the likes of Joshua, Wlad, Fury and even Wilder to beat both Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
