    Some of the aforementioned are easily greater than others, but I have my reasons for naming them

    What is overrated about the technique and punching abilities of a Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey or a Mike Tyson; the proficiency of a Holyfield or a Liston; the artistry of an Ali or a Jersey Joe Walcott?

    Their importance and pay is....
    No way Wlad deserves that type of money compared to fighter's who throw 1000+ punches a night and put on true show's.

    Besides, I'm talking about HW's in general.
    (I'm not saying they have less skill)
