    Being so much bigger against a guy with Dempsey's style isn't always an advantage.

    Why?

    Because he fought years ago?

    Can you imagine how racist the internet would've been then?

    Forget a color line drawn by the boxing champions, the forum admins would probably require you to Facetime or Skype them just to register a membership to prove you weren't a "colored".

    Ahhh. Was going to say, I'm no squat-throat like an Iron Mike or anything but I'm no stretched out piece of taffy either. :sisi1

    Forgot I'd coined that. In hindsight I'm shocked Fonfara didn't incur more KTFO losses. That early look at him vs. Johnson had me utterly convinced he would get blasted any time he faced a halfway decent puncher.

    Ive read the same thing from Futch on Frazier. But what’s funny is this new Era of boxing fan is obsessed with Height and weight even though our entire history is littered with smaller Heavyweights decimating larger ones. One of these big boys will soon be toppled by what they’ll consider a smaller man, mark my words it’s coming. I don’t get how being heavier which a lot of the time equals fatter is seen as some sort of advantage. Like I said someone smaller will spark one of these “Super Heavys” or someone like Usyk will box circles around them and then I wanna hear their rational of how size wasn’t the deciding factor.

    Saunders ain't a slow plodding gangly version of Wilder with even less skill, Fonfaras Giraffe Neck*(IB) and Khan's chin.
    I've watched hours of Willard footage of 8mm and I've never seen anything he had that would even make even a debuting Khyrtov flinch.

    If he were fighting today, he'd be a good comeback showcase KO for someone like Sillaykh.

    He's got insane heart Fonfara.

    But catch that tiny inverted chin, and that Giraffe Neck (*IB) can't keep his head on straight.
    When Glenn Johnson is buckling a guy with arm punches, it was only a matter of time lolol.

    Be a nice comeback for Le Tombeur.

    Butes L UC would yank his head right from his shoulders.

    Luckily, modern science is able to reattach severed heads so long as they're put directly on ice. LMAO

    A SHW is 6-4+ 230+.

    I can't remember any skilled SHWs prior to Foreman, and his skills only really came out in his second career as he simply used his SHW frame to demolish supposed ATG Frazier...who I can objectivity say, would be a solid CW contender these days, but could not possibly beat Dorticos, Bredis, Usyk or Gassiev.
    Those wide winging L hooks would fall 5" short of Dorticos chin, who would then drill him with Ali-fast 1-2s with power just shy of George.

    Frazier would beat any Cruiserweight in boxing history. He would leave Docticos just like he left Foster, out cold early!!

    This. Dorticos is a bum. He has no power or chin and struggled against a shot Edison Miranda, who was way above his best weight. Frazier's son Marvis would even run over Dorticos.
