      I don't understand why people want to watch Heavyweight so badly like it used to be back in the days. It just used to be more skilled fighters at heavy weight at the time. Why don't you sit down and watch elite boxers in other weight classes.

          Well tried, Carnera was supposedly a mob fighter. He wasn't a very good one though, showcased by Baer putting on the most ridiculous ass whippin' i've ever seen.

            Exactly if not for "connections" we likely wouldn't know the name Primo Carnera almost a century later.

            Got to say Carnera was a tough dude though, not just anyone could last that long getting pummeled like that.

              I hope that Wlad sticks around as Heavyweight Champ for another half a decade, to prolong that nostalgic misery of yours.

                That is an interesting thing for a boxing fan to say~

                If Wlad is good enough he deserves his spot, but if I give a shit about him or not is another question I have plenty of other boxing to watch. I do like heavyweight boxing though so it is just sad that I have to write it off currently.

                  they hit, Hard. You rarely see that kind of power in the other divisions.
