yeah, heavyweights have to have a punch, but its like saying a car has to have wheels. heavyweights have a punch, pretty much all the time. dont let a loser like chris byrd fool you, any heavyweight worth his jock will have a punch. but the name of the game is boxing, not punching, in the end. theres been plenty of big punchers through history that didnt become champs, and its because they werent good enough boxers. YOU CANT KNOCK THEM ALL OUT, no one ever has.
the first guy who is a decent boxer withstood the storm and boxed him to pieces over the course of the fight. take a look at peters record, a bunch of ****ing nobodys! the second best fighter on his record is taurus sykes!
brock has enough pop, hes got heart, a good chin, and pretty ****ing good boxing skills, considering the overall heavyweight skill level right now. he doesnt have too great of a resume either, though, cliff etienne doesnt count and mccline looked unusually ****ty in their fight. tom yankello is a great trainer and has gotten a lot out of not much. hes about as good as he'll ever get, and thats not good enough. still, hes light years beyond peter.
neither of these guys would has a chance in hell only a few years ago, and forget about it before that, but with schmucks like valuev and liakhovich holding belts, they may become "champions" after all.
