Please will a true heavyweight arise and dominate all these losers. Hey if laila Ali has mike tyson's baby we could have the next great heavyweight.
    James has skill, there's no question of that. But he's all used up. You cant have almost eighty fights and not be worn out. That aside, Toney also lacks the height or power needed to beat Vitali. In the end, Vitali's jab would do its work and James would succumb to it in about round nine or so.

      even if Wlad becomes champion, how many successful defenses do you think he will have? 2? 3? 4? The guy is a damn good fighter, good boxer, and a good puncher! But his chin, man! His chin! Any prime
      #1 contender that fights in a stalker/slugger style would make short work of Wlad, and if not that at least have a good chance of KO'ing him

      there are ways to improve your chin supposedly, by doing neck excercises, but I think it's bull****. I look at Naz's neck and see the neck of a boy, and he can take the best shots and come back up swinging like it was a jab. There are many theories, but the one backing this claims that brain deceleration is what causes the loss of consciousness. and by strengthining the neck, you decrease how much your head snaps back.

        You're right about that. Naz has one hell of a chin, man.

          Without a chin, you can beat Byrd, but that's about it in the heavyweight division
