        Have the American Heavyweights stolen the horizontal tag from the Brits?

          As Larry Merchant once said:" I liked it when Mike came in looking like a middleweight fighter." This was after he lost the first time and he started getting bigger,muscle wise.
          yup, he was 19 in that picture, it was taken before the match with sammy scaff.

          after prison is when he came back big, his speed was gone when he increased his muscie size.

              Eddie Chambers would wup on Audley Harrison no question. Audley don't even fight no more, he knows he's a has-been never was. Eddie would be too much for Audley with his speed.

                Its always a plus to look smaller then the ppl you're facing.Plus still knocking them out.

                    A good heavy weight has to have a lot of natural talent. He must also be natural athlete i.e. he would have probably been good at any sport he played. After the early 90's very few "natural" athletes wanted to box.Very few parents wanted their kids to become boxers.
                    Other pro sports offered more options and longevity.

                    Footbal and basketball and baseball are now homes to our "would have been" great American Heavy weights


                    Mike Tyson would have probably been one of the best Linebackers in NFL history
