    The most important plus is boxing ability

    Don't think we'd be talking about them if they hadn't got any. There the top heavies out there.

    Its the only one that matters in boxing. They all got power. We watch them for their ability to box not stamina or height. Think!

    Listing just two for each of what each Mainly relies on the most .

    Klitchko / Experiance : Ring Generalship

    Joshua / Athletism : Power

    Wilder / Unpredictability : Reach

    Ortiz / Experiance : Unorthodox Southpaw

    Parker / Speed : Power

    Haye / Speed : unpredictability

    Povetkin / Experiance : Raw Toughness

    Fury / Size : Ring Generalship

    Whyte / Stamina : Raw Toughness

    Izu Ugonoh / Athletism : Pressure

    Yup , it was a while ago but there is a saying: Once a cheater, always a cheater. You saw what happen'd with Browne... I wouldn't be surprised if Whyte gets a positive sample again.

    Good summary.

    Although I wonder if Parker's 2nd attribute would be toughness/chin rather than his power.

    Povetkin's stamina is....................his weak point IMO. I like Povetkin and ususally root for him but he almost lost his fight vs Chambers due to his poor stamina.We all remember his pathetic stamina when he met Huck inside the ring.He ran out of gas after 6 rounds.His willpower carried him through the fight but his stamina was a shame.He was injured when he fought Firtha but his stamina was less than stellar in that fight,too.
