    Honestly, I can see Ruiz still making problems to top heavyweights.

      I hope so, fighters like Zhang overall are pretty terrible, he's old, flabby, immobile.

          Zhang was never sloppy - in fact he is/was a very accurate puncher, which, in combination with his power, led to a couple of great KOs. He always had slow feet though, and a terrible gas tank.

            It's a natural cycle in the heavyweights.

            Bigger beats big. Biggest beats bigger.

            Until they get too big and then faster beats slow.

            Big will come again.

                It's cyclical, the best young heavyweights right now are shorter ones, there's not really many young super heavyweights with ability in the current ranks, except for Jalalov

                There will be another super heavyweight or two with ability come along soon and people Weill say they are too big for everyone. The cycle repeats.

                  There are always gonna be some big fat heavyweights who can punch and try to get away with it until they get found out at the top level.

                  And they will always be overhyped as fans love big guys that are big punchers regardless of skill level otherwise.

                    Way too early to make definitive judgements either way. A year ago most people thought Fury was the no1 HW ffs.

                    How many fat sloppy HWs have there actually even been anyway? I dont think its ever been a defining aspect of the division really.
