    too much for the opponent, or too much to carry into a cardio sport for the one whose bigger?

    I think Joshua's massive legs also give the illusion of his frame seeming smaller than what it actually is. For Wlad it's the other way around. Small legs with a robust frame.

    Fury also has massive legs.

    Agree with most of it ...but one caveat Haye is about 1" smaller in height & sparked Valuev at 7' & you have to admit Haye is an inferior fighter to Usyk...but for the most yeah yer right.

    There’s a +60lbs difference between Usyk and most SHW’s.

    Usyk does not have Ali head movement and will get tagged by one of these SHW’s. I hope Hearn eases him gently into the heavyweight category to see how he performs carrying and additional 15-20lbs. It will also give us a chance to see how good his chin is.
