have to be slow and gigantic? When will some exciting "human" looking heavyweights come back into the spotlight?
Isn't the natural law of physics? The bigger you are, the slower you move. Then what the hell are you complaining about?
Usual braindead HWs are ****, blah blah thread from the US fight fans because they have not had a champion since Rahman got lucky with a right hand winger, and before then a senile Holyfield.
Because it is a simply tendence in all the sports that requires a lot of strenght: it is so also in swimming and in tennis, for example: take tennis, nowadays tecniques matters less and less, there are tennis players that are over the 2 metres, they can barely run around the field, and they base all of their games on the serve; but the worst thing is that they eventually are even able to beat top-skilled tennis players; about these ones, watch Nadal and Djokovich, they only play from distance, shooting bombs again and again, and they are the strongest players around; technical, elegant players like Roger Federer are really in troubles, being not able to compete with strenght.
We're talking about 31 year old, past his prime and #1 rated Roger Federer. 31 is old as hell in tennis terms. You really have no idea what you're talking about. We're in a golden age in tennis. In the early 2000's, tennis slowed the balls down to increase the rally length. Big serving matters less and less in this day in age. If you have just a serve you won't do ****.
get a time machine lol times have changed and now athletes have to be bigger and stronger to be competitive. That`s how it is in every sport. Regular guy can`t win a HW championship anymore.
American HW's these days are so out of shape and not dedicated. Somewhere the passion for being HW champ is gone. Fighters are finding other ways to make money and the "need" to fight is not what it once was. At one point it was prize fighting with show, now it's more show, crossover appeal and cashing in HWs were once 205-220 on average
It's you that doesn't know ****.... 31 is not that old, Federer's favourite sourface are not casually not the ones in which is required more strenght, and Federer is only the best technical ever, as a general tendence, tennis is already gone to strenght and more strenght; you said it by yourself, that they heve introduced new rules just to try to compensate the disadvantage between bombers like Nadal and the others, and, last but not least, it's not me that writes articles on the sports journals whining about the robotic way of playing tennis to win nowadays.
Would they be as competitive with heavyweights who were in shape and actually had skills? Highly doubtful.
When these "human looking" heavyweights are able to beat the gigantic ones,thats when. And I dont see it happening anytime soon. If you're not 6'4+ and 240+, you may as well just try to boil down to cruiser
