    Which heavies would be P4P material if they weren't a heavy?

    Just curious. Which heavy style do you think would be P4P material if they never started out as a heavy? Maybe this is an impossible question but I dunno, just giving it a shot.

      Mr. Wladamir Klitchsko and Mr. James Toney. Of the current heavies, at least.

          Toney started out as a middleweight... Toney the heavyweight isn't a P4Per, Toney the Super Middle may be.

          The question is an odd one. P4P doesn't mean that they have fought in several different weight classes (as EA Fight Night would have you believe), it means that if weight were not an issue they would be able to compete against many people. And that's just it, none of the current heavyweights are god enough. Wlad is pretty good, but his chin and heart is suspect. Peter is a hard puncher but not p4p harder than, say, Darchynian. Nobody measures up from the heavyweight division.

          From the past Ali, Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Max Rosenbloom.

            Chagaev might have the potential to be.

            Southpaw with very good all-round skills, excellent lateral movement, can punch in combinations, has very good punching power for his size, & can adapt to different situations in the ring.

            Needs to get sharper with his jab, which he uses as a probe too often, but if he continues to improve at a steady rate he could be up there.

              Of the current crop, only James Toney and Wladimir Klitschko.

                Right now it has to be Wlad for sure, you can't really find guys that are that big, tall and heavy and ripped like that, and his movement is pretty damn fast for a guy his size...

                  Yeah I was trying to say guys that started out as Heavy. Toney doesn't count or any guys that came up.
