These HW's today are just so incredibly massive/huge. Just freaks really.

    If he’s not on PEDs either I’ll be surprised

    Miller's not fat - he's just big boned.

    Honest. Nothing to do with eating lots of pies and cakes.

    This.

    The biggest HW boxers are about the height of your average NBA small forward. Every NBA team as of a decade ago had multiple 7 foot centers on the team (game has changed a lot, but I'd bet every team still has at least two that clock in 6'11"+).

    Where are all the 7 foot HW champions hiding out? Height becomes a disadvantage when it comes to boxing at the top level at a certain point. That point likely would be much shorter than it is today (look at the HW history books) if not for modern advancements (yes, I'm talking about PED's).

    That certain point is only when they start to sacrifice balance/coordination. My point is these NBA/NFL types are massive and coordinated (they wouldn't be playing at elite level if they were not). For that reason we likely haven't seen the limits yet of heavyweight pro boxers. All it takes is a true return of boxing's popularity in the US.

    I don't think Manute Bol would have ever done much in boxing, but Shaq, Dwight Howard, Alonzo Mourning, etc? No reason to think they wouldn't kick arse in boxing if they had gone that route instead in their teenage years onward, with adequate training of course. Imagine having to eat jabs from a muscular guy with a 7'7 wingspan for 12 rounds.

    Lol nothing to do with my own fictional universe,just happens to be my opinion that Mike Tyson wouldn’t necessarily run through guys like AJ,Wlad and Mike Tyson even his pomp doesn’t have wins over anyone of that calibre to suggest otherwise unless you wanna bring up a shot Larry Holmes and Frank Bruno.
    And stop being such a drama queen,this is only boxing we talking about.

    Very few young kids enter boxing gyms with ambitions of being a pro compared to the number of kids who play basketball or football etc either, collages literally breed basketball and football players, If boxing was the same i am sure we would see a hell of a lot more physically gifted freaks too. There are literally thousands upon thousands of collage basketball players who have played their entire life who never make it to the nba every single year and only the elite few get drafted, the amount of people pursuing boxing in comparison is minuscule, We haven't come close to finding the best genetic freaks yet imo.

    in other words you backed out of the argument, ok. no hard feelings about you losing it, but you seem mighty upset enough to use the word muppet etc.

    it was entirely yuyr fictional universe in which Pov doesnt have his hands full with a CW, in your universe he is a "monster" walking thru them.

    so you were exposed, and dont want to admit it, ok. no hass, but dont blame others for your own misfortune.

    Huck at his best was an aggressive nightmare for anyone. The fact that he was a cruiserweight is irrelevant. Joe Louis, Max Baer and Earnie Shavers were cruiserweights, and they all kicked major arse. Herbie Hide was a cruiserweight too, and almost everyone that fought him raved about his punching power.

    Cruiserweights aren't small or helpless men.

    i agree, CWs are HWs, and they hit as hard as anyone, and Huck is a good one.

    But Pov wasnt a monster to him or anyone good.
