How come heavyweights often have atrocious technique for being a pro?

[BuakawBanchamek]

No disrespect to the fighters themselves but just looking at Tyson Fury shadowing boxing,
Wilder or just now I watched a clip of youngster David Adeleye on Youtube
and they don't have sound technique whatsoever.

Obviously they became one of the best in the Divisions regardless of their akward technique
but how come you see pretty much zero middleweights and below with similar techniqual weirdness?

Tyson Fury has good technique but your not going to get a Heavyweight moving like a lightweight

[Marchegiano]

Because their entire lives they have never been asked to be more than lumbering.

Smaller men are more agile and faster. Some heavyweights do throw perfect punches most of the time. I don't recall AJ throwing sloppy punches. Everything he throws is textbook. Wilder is the windmill of doom but sometimes he throws a perfect straight right that can end the fight.

because they hit hard

they dont go through olympic boxing, they usually start late around 18-20 y.o in the army, prison, local gyms to make some money, if you're big enough, have some courage and had a difficult childhood...

It's because most heavyweights don't have that amateur pedigree or as fundamentally sound as fighters were from the past.

Some don't have any amateur experience at all. Also, the ones that do have very limited amateur experience where you learn the basics of boxing.

And this is why my favorite weight class is 147

And this is why my favorite weight class is 147

147 is a great division. I myself don’t feel the same level of excitement as when watching bigger men fight. Just the amount of power behind the punches draws me in. The sound of a Gassiev body punch etc gives me the chills
