    The heavyweight division is so weird

    we have fighters in the lower weights do face offs at the weigh ins with shoes while the other is with out shoes to make fights look competitive, or we have people pointing out "ohhh look how much bigger the other guy is look he has like 2 inches and 5 pounds on him." But at heavyweight we have fights like this:

    Yeah, and the funny thing is, people say that if the big guy wins it's a good win.

    I see a lot of heavyweight fights as physical mismatches, but if you over 200lbs, you have no choice but to fight giants!

        Size isnt everything, you can be 7 foot tall 300 pounds and still suck. Just look at Nikolay Valuev.

            actually i like Chambers; quick HW with great movement.

            actually he has a good chance in my opinion; better chance then Chagaev

              one the reasons I think weight is so overrated in boxing or at least on this site.

                  HW has no weight cap, and a lot of those guys are giants. Doesn't necessarily make or take away from the fights though. Wlad knows how to use his height. Valuev is garbage.
