It seeems people have a problem with him because he doesn't fit their mental picture of what th HW champ should look like.
He has a bit of a gut but I really don't see anyother valid arguments being made by posters on this forum.
Some have said he has poor hand speed and footwork? Well name a HW other than Chris Byrd in his prime that had good handspeed/footwork within the lst 10 years? And if you go back 20 years you still only find a few HW fighters that actually possesed exceptional hand and foot speed.
It's kinda sad that nobody cheers for the bluecollar type fighters anymore. But I guess it's just easier to cheer for the obvious champion simply because his muscles look prettier on TV.
