The heavyweight division isn't as bad as people make it out to be. The men on balance have become much bigger and more muscular than those of previous generations. Ali was considered a very big heavy in his day and at 6ft. 3inches indeed towered over most of his opponents. He is inches shorter than Wlad and much less muscular in his prime than Wlad is now. My point is modern day giants in the heavy division have a different style of fighting and it can look awkward. These monsters can't afford to get hit repeatedly on the chin as their power is so great. If powerpuncher Briggs hits Wlad first he wins. Wlad with his superior boxing ability will be very evasive and set up the perfect punch and K.O. Briggs somewhere in the fight. Fans will say Wlad is a boring, overly cautious fighter who takes too long to take out his overmatched opponent. No, he is the first great HUGE boxer who possesses brains and skills to be a long-term dominant heavy in the age of giants. He is a prototype of things to come.
You know i was thinking about Tua last night and to be honest i am a fan but the only fights he has ever looked impressive in is his loss to Ike Ibeabuchi and his win over Johhny Ruiz. Seriously apart from them how many fights have you actually seen David Tua in and really been impressed? As for the thread i wouldnt put it past Wlad to stop this Tua. If Wlad really sat down on his punches i could see him bringing a referee intervention. If not a very wide UD for Wlad.
what the ....did I tranport myself into KCD cause I swear that was me writing that...could not say it better myself.
Tua also looked good against Michael Moorer, and Wilson, who stopped Shannon Briggs. Also ko'd Maskaev and Izon.
