The 6 ft. 9 inch power punching legend Tye Fields who sported a gaudy 49 wins with 44 knockouts against the rugged journeyman Nicolai Firtha who had a young Tyson fury on the deck in a losing effort. Who wins this rugged match up?
Tye has this one in my opinion. He is the greatest power puncher in the history of the sport. The only men that beat him would be The GOAT Nikolai Valuev and the 64-0 undisputed UBF heavyweight champ Charlie Zellenoff. Zellenoff at 160 pounds knocked out 6-4 300 pound Derek The Giant and took all of the punches from the feared Deontay Wlider like they were nothing and knocked Deontay out after the camera ran out of batteries.
Probably Fields, he was crude as hell and had a horrible chin, but I think his size/power would be enough to beat Firtha provided his chin held up.
Tye's kayo of Bruce Seldon was absolutely breathtaking! Yes, Wilder was terrified of Zellenoff, who carries a Sonny Liston type of aura around with him. Wilder is lucky he is fighting Stiverne and not Zellenoff.
