..LEWIS/KLITSCHKO: Best 'Big Man' Fight?...

[THe TRiNiTY]

Hav ing just re-watched the fight, I was thinking about something Larry Merchant said. He said it was the most intense fight between big men, meaning big heavyweights.

Would you guys agree?

True, the people walking out during the 3rd round were stomping pretty hard on those steps.

I can't recall any 2 really big HW's puttin on a fight like that since Bowe-Golata.

[Enayze]

As good as two big man fighting gets.

Kind of depends on exactly what the cutoff point for "big man" is.

Bowe-Golota 2 and Brewster-Liakhovich were better fights than Lewis-Klitschko.

They were smaller though, as they were all in the 230s, and Brewster's not especially tall at 6'2. Klitschko is 6'7 and weighed nearly 250, and Lewis is 6'5 and weighed in the mid 250s in that fight.

In my opinion anyone over 6'4, 240 lbs is a so-called "super heavyweight".

Brewster and Lyakhovich were usually around 225 lbs when they were in shape, Bowe and Golota both fought comfortably at 240+ lbs.
