If you could pick any guy under 200 to knockout a heavyweight who would it be?

    Oh when he first started out he was knocking out everybody, but then again I'm sure he was placed in there with the right opposition too..they all are in the beginning. But that's what I meant..he's not knocked out anyone..not a TRUE knockout, in quite a while, and theyre 'supposed' to be his size and from what I've always heard, Sheika doesnt have the best chin ever and he only got a tko with him, so I doubt he could take out a heavy. I like him, alot, but I see limitations, and he has a few of them

      Damn, WHY was I thinking that fight ended early?? Now thats a tad embarassing (thats IT "S"..no more tapes for you!! )

        yeah he looks like a pocket-bob sapp.

          serioulsy doubt that
          he doesnt look that big
          and if he does
          its cuz hes so damn short
          hes only 5'9 and fights at 168
          his size n figure looks right to me

            Tsyzu,Trinidad, and plenty of other top pros would handle the majority of heavyweights on the planet. By heavyweight I simply mean people who weigh over 200 pounds. Non-boxers and toughman fighters most of them. Even a huge muscular guy like a prime Arnold Swarchenegger would impress me immensely if he lasted an entire round with Mayweather, let alone Trinidad.

            But if you are talking about a top fifty professional HW, I think a handful of guys have the power to do so. The biggest factor would be that most heavyweights would hurt them easily, and with only glancing blows, while they would need a direct hit to even stagger let alone knock down a heavyweight. If you gave Trinidad a motorcycle helmet and body vest so he didn't have to worry about getting hit in return, he could hurt a lot of heavyweights.

            When a true puncher hits you, you're going to feel it, unless you are one of those rare people who have a great jaw. Sometimes that isn't even enough as Willard was huge and iron chinned and yet Dempsey's power crushed him regardless.

            There are small guys out there that have the power to KO a heavyweight with a direct hit, but the odds of them delivering that power before getting KO'ed themselves are very slim.

              trinidad sparred a fres oquendo and rumors said he handled him , they say that b hops spars HW from time to time and punish them.

              and BTW , how are you doin british ****** ?

                I think Lacy beats everyone up because he hasnt fought a good fighter yet, i'd really like to see Green vs Lacy.

                  Exactly..he is my pick...too many people are picking Zoo and Tito...these guys are just too small...Tito may have a shot but not Zoo he weighs a 140 ****ing pounds...there are only a couple guys out there that fit this threads description and the big truck seems to me to be one of those guys.
