    Here's your beautiful, huge, athletic, excellent cardio Shaq...... getting wobbled and looking like an uncoordinated spaz against a WELTERWEIGHT :hey

    Epic fail man, congrats

    Or maybe you knew very well about that match, and hoped nobody on the forum knew about it, since all people like you gets uncomfortable and try to change argument when it's pointed out that a ****ton of basketball player tried their way in boxing, only to be folded like chairs.

    Basketball players are slender built, they typically weight less than HWs in spite of being taller. Strolling around on a basket field occasionally throwing a ball is nothing compared to a real fight, cardio wise.
    And they're all glass chinned, with pea sized heads and slack mandibles.
    And they lack *****, they don't like being hit

    IMO it's backward as hell to not have a SHW division in pro boxing. There's a reason it exists in amateur/Olympic boxing and rightly so.
    Pro boxing's one of -if not the- most stagnated/backward sports there is.

    That must be why lewis ruled for so long until he met his match in vitaly who had size and skill over lewis. The only real all time great would have to be Tyson he beat bigger guys than himself all the time, agreed?

    no worst lewis destroyed prime vitali inside half time too. you musta all forgot.

    furthermore I count 1 taller than lewis, 4 his height, and 4 more within an inch on his resume. 3 of these did better than vitali managed, and the other did worse- slthough they all fought prime lewis not end of career one.

    They should move CW/HW around a bit.

    In this day and age, HW should probably be 215 plus

    I also think that once you are a certain size, if you are a puncher you have the power to hurt men regardless of size, which makes it a much more even playing field.
