    Choklab I lose your posts, & agree with the vast majority of what you claim.

    Though I keep hearing how when tested, size of gloves does not effect impact. What do you think of that?

    Malik Scott is a heavyweight that can not punch and from what it seems from the losses to Chisora and Wilder (he does not take a good punch) and that is a bad combination for a heavyweight regardless of size. He looked competitive vs Glazkov but so did many other ordinary guys so I think Glazkov is overated because his power seems poor. In a recent fight with 5'8 fringe light heavyweight- cruiser Garrett Wilson V.G. was rocked and cut and looked vulnerable so I would not give Glazkov much of a chance vs the Satterfield or Henry or Layne nor Baker and I dont see how a Malik Scott could keep them off. I do think Wilder seems to offer much more (size and power and ability ) but the other factors remain to be seen. Other than Vlad the rest of the group look beatable. Povetkin is tough and brings it but not sure how he would do vs a skilled smaller guy because Huck almost had him out and Huck would be at most average in the 50's
