    I would stack Arreola and Adamek up to most of them easily. Guys like Weaver and Dokes, no way were they more skilled than Adamek. The rest have varying skill levels. Would I back them to stop current Povetkin or Chambers, probably not for the most.

      Show me a heavyweight fight of Adamek or Arreola that display this kind of speed and skill.

          Tim Witherspoon would have been something else in this era.

            Agreed. He had skills and power, to bad Don King ruined his career.

              Tubbs actually reminds me of Arreola a bit.....you're talking to clowns though. They don't get it. Razor Ruddock was also good until he had two fights with Tyson.....incidentally if anyone wants to know how good a chin Mike Tyson really had go watch Tyson v Ruddock 1 and number 2. Ruddock was known as a big hitter especially with the left hook.

                  Today's contenders don't stack up to even the 80's contenders who some consider weak.

                      I already knew you couldn't come up with anything of Arreola or Adamek showing near this skill level. I could post more evidence of them against the caliber of contenders there are today, but you would just dismiss it because you don't know what you're talking about.
