He's got fists bigger than my ****in head n a goat chin... ..didn't speak much English....really friendly guy ..had a picture taken with him a few years ago when I saw him working out at my local gym
Wach should be ashamed to show up in the shape he was last night. Big gut and man diddies is not professional.
LOL true! Years ago, that was called laziness and fighters wouldn't live it down for years afterward. Today? They call that dumb **** "gaining a size advantage".
He's no spring chicken either at 43. I've always thought he had a funny looking body shape, not athletic all.
It could be argued that McCall didn't fight many either, depending on how one defines a "heavy hitter". Wach has also fought bigger heavies than most throughout his career. Wlad is one of the biggest punchers ever and Wach took 274 punches from Wlad over 12 rounds according to Compubox, including 121 power punches, without being seriously hurt or going down. That fight in itself made the case that Wach (who wasn't very mobile or agile, thus he took a huge number of flush shots) had a phenomenal chin. Povetkin went on a post-Wlad 5 fight streak where he starched several durable heavyweights: Charr, Takam, Perez and Duhaupas, only Wach didn't get iced. Haye sparred Wach extensively and claimed that he would need a baseball bat to put a dent in him. Wach was only finally put down at 42 years of age by the savage punching 260 lbs Makhmudov. His other stoppage losses were due to fatigue.
Wach is obviously slow and limited but he has several things going for him that very few do: he's 6'7+, 250+ lbs naturally, highly experienced, one of the toughest chins ever, stamina and boxing nous to go 12 rounds against Wlad and Povetkin, mental fortitude to take dozens or even hundreds of punches in a single fight from KO artists and he had a solid punch when he landed flush (he was on a 7 fight KO streak when he fought Wlad, including a clean KO over Hammer).
