I saw several times everywhere that the real heavyweight champ is in a football field and it kind of upset me. Heavyweights in America are not like in the 70ies, i know that, but i don't know how the **** a big football player could be a great heavyweight boxer and beat someone like Klitschko.
Being big and strong doesn't make you a champion. In MMA, former NFL player Bob Sapp proved that. Being huge doesn't teach you how to fight.
If size would be enough to be a great heavyweights, we should let the rugby players fight in Heavywieght matches too.
Their sport is more based on stamina and less on explosiveness than football players.
However, i think in the heavyweight division you have the right people in the right place. It's just that nowadays those fat asses lost discipline and that sometimes you have a golden era with too many great fighters( Duran, Hearns, Leonard, Hagler) and sometimes it's the contrary.
