    Most of these posters have never boxed before so they think size is everything.

    Boxing is about skill, not about size especially at heavyweight where one punch can change a fight.

    I have seen in my time in boxing gyms big guys get absolutely destroyed by guys half their size.

    And if anyone is saying today’s heavyweights are more skillful than the heavyweights of old are definitely casuals.

    If size is so important all of these ex NFL and NBA players would rule boxing, those are world class huge athletes.

    Please tell me many ex pros have crossed over and have been successful.

    I’ll wait.

        So you're saying size doesn't matter? Size makes up for skill this is common sense but if you wanna pull that ******ed "Oh you've never boxed before" bull**** you're on the wrong site. Acting like the hw champions today are ****ing bums who've never boxed before.

        Are you seriously comparing Wilder and Joshua to basketball players it just shows how casual YOU really are.

        Show me a feared heavyweight champion other than Mike Tyson that's shorter than 6'4" in the past 20 years.

          Size makes up for skill?

          Ok man anything you say.

          These heavyweights nowadays all started boxing late and don’t have many fights under their belt and it shows.

          There are always excuses “yeah but he’s getting better”
          These guys lack the skill because they lack experience, and normally the larger the fighter the less coordinated coupled with lack of experience equals less ability.

          And yeah your right every poster on this site has a wealth of experience in the ring.

          And no I’m not comparing Wilder and AJ to basketball or football players because they are not world class athletes and wouldn’t make the pros.

          I am on the right site my friend.

            You can watch the technique and form of foreman and the old guys and can easily see he’s levels above Miller and current heavyweights you gotta be naive not to see that.

              What a surprise that cruiserweights move better than heavyweights.

                What’s your point wilder weights practically the same and he’s the best hw in the world off of sheer power punch. Are you implying Holyfield and Tyson wouldn’t beat miller either??
