    The heavier the bag , the more power is required to move it. 3 pages in and you're still confused about the bag.

    Being bigger doesn't mean you can take a harder punch.

    Kemps basic mindframe is incapable of analytical thoughts.

    Wlad, one of the most successful super heavies of all time , a huge tank of a man was terrified of little cruiser weight- David Hayes power.
    He almost got put down in the 12th and had to hold on for his life , the ref protected him and allowed him to dance Haye around the ring for the remainder of the round.

    Even bigger Vitali tapped out on his stool he was so scared of being hit by little ,light heavy, non punching Byrd.

    Being big heavies never made much of a difference to Louis and Dempsey.

    Wrong. Any man punching above 180 pounds has the ability to ko a man of any size. Could Tommy Morrison of brushed off a full flush suzieQ, not a hope. The Spinks jinx knocked out big man Cooney. Marciano is fully caple of shattering Wlads brittle head and body.

    Do you think there is a big gulf in power between the hardest hitting cruiserweights such ad Herbie Hide or David Haye, and the superheavyweights?

    No you didn't, you said white boxing fans. I just don't see why ethnicity needs to be brought into the debate.

    Haye is not a natural HW. He has to do huge weights and eat shed loads to make the weight. He could make cruiser comfortably.

    Bulking up would have made them stronger physicaly, but it is highly questionable whether it would have made them hit harder or be more punch resistant.

    There is realy only so much that you can do to improve those variables.

    That clown can't seem to graps this concept, he'll come back with some garbage about you not being able to prove they couldn't have been just as successful at heavy, while fighting at a much lighter weight. If they could, they would.
    Imagine he was in Holyfield's camp after the first Bowe fight: "Evander, I think for the rematch, you should come in half a stone lighter, that extra speed was clearly what was missing...." :!:

    In other words the more you weigh the better you are? That's what's the theory between you between you and Tommo. Imagine Wladimir Klitschko had 300pounds! wow!

    I could give several evidence supporting Janitor over yours. Lennox Lewis had much more muscle then a old Foreman but Holyfield always backed away when Foreman punched but kept coming forward against Lennox.

    Taking a punch is more to do with mental and the neck strength. I'm sure as a CW Haye would have a 17 or 18inch neck,he could have definitely fought as a HW with his CW division weight.

    Byrd despite being the same weight as Holyfield and Tyson can't punch like them at all. Why? Because it's regardless of weight and size/bodymass,you either got it or you dont.
