Joe Joyce vs Rocky Marciano

And by the same token if there is no test, that also means there were even more drug cheats that we don’t know about.

It’s like saying there was no drinking during prohibition.

 

This just confirms what I said. The information you have here agrees wholeheartedly with my theory.

The heavyweight population indeed grew 4 inches in the 50 years that the American population stabilised at 5’9” with a 1% of guys as tall as 6’4”.

During that 50 years of national stabilised growth in America the Europeans grew enough to roughly match the average height of the American population which had previously been the tallest nation.

With the exception of Holland and Montenegro, Today the height differential is negligible between America and Europe.

 

Going back a lot further than we know...

You're proving my point.

 

Joyce has 6 votes LOL. I think the general population is making its way over here to vote....

 

We're talking about this guy, right?

Don't think The Rock could handle it.

 

Who could though? Primo might be the only one to pull it off.

 

Yes we agree that taller, heavier heavyweights have become more successful in boxing than at any point in history. which is surprising, all things considered.

Being taller has always allowed people to carry more weight but it has not always made them successful at boxing.

I don’t think Jimmy Wilde would have been more successful had he bulked up to middleweight.

 

Haha that is mint!

That Joe Joyce is the living reincarnation of the mighty John L Sullivan!

 

It is the whole “allowing heavyweights to carry more weight comfortably” part that is the sticking point with me.

Have the successful heavyweights got bigger? Yes. Absolutely yes.

Have the taller heavyweights managed to carry weight more comfortably than before? Yes.

Now why is that?

Why is it that tall guys like Ernie Terrell, Gerry Cooney, Tony Alongi, Larry Middleton and Chuck Gardner were unable to train up to 260lb so that they could dominate the eras they fought in using a considerable functional weight advantage?..

 

Don´t forget about SHW Techno Viking. He´d handle this with ease.

He would be better test than the opponent his young namesake just blew away!
