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

[HitmanTommy]

And this is why my favorite weight class is 147

HW division is too slow moving and sloppy for me.

Too bad there are no more Tyson's and Holyfield's.

[LoadedWraps]

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?

So you basically DKSAB.

HWs rely less on technique as power is more relevant but outside of Wilder (an outlier) no one has "atrocious" technique, and the fact you would even jokingly suggest the most refined p4p fighter is technically anything but outstanding means you don't know what you are watching, at all. Fury does everything well in the ring, it isn't even debatable.

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

HW is pinnacle of human power. Embodies 1 punch can change everything

Someone is guaranteed to get hurt at hw. They so big even “dancers and runners” like Ali can crack

Lmao we talking semantics here.
I might give you atrocious being too harsh but If you take a. Look at fury shadow boxing and still say he is techniqually sound as in textbook boxing you are a fool

Thats literally my whole point. I make the argument that a lot of heavyweights or at least a good chunk are not techniqually as lighter wieght divisions. Old fighters like holyfield or tyson were techniqually perfect

I still prefer watching even C-D level class huge dudes in 10-rounders.

Lets be honest, only divisions from 175 and up are grown mens divisions. Others are midgets or very slim people.

People often will say that HWs "don't have to learn techniques". Part of it is because there's no weight limit, and the other part is typically their punching power covers up a lot of the flaws.

I have yet to see a HW that's good enough to be placed in the P4P list.

As I've said before, to me the most skilled of the HWs is Povetkin. But even being skilled at HW doesn't mean he's guaranteed to be a champion. He got knocked by Joshua, who has an inferior skillset.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Wilder has D level skills and he made 10 defences under WBC belt.

Heavyweight is about the power.

Deontay is an outlier who took pride in being very flawed

After the Ortiz 2 fight he says

I only have to be perfect for 2 seconds

The words of a soon to be outboxed man
