I just think these big heavy weights are ruling because the competition is absolute ****ing garbage. I mean who is good in the division that is normal sized? There are no challenges. Why does Wlad get so much praise when its obvious there was no competition in the division. He was knocked out by saunders and Brewster. And now Joshua (who is mediocre btw). How is Stiverne even a contender? What is good about him? Hes flat footed, low power, not fast, not clever, doesnt work hard or have tons of heart. He walks forward with his hands up and takes his time because he doesn't trust his gas tank. People are tripping balls that wilder stopped him but let me tell you I can think of 250 other heavyweights that would have blown him out just as fast.
There is so much factual evidence that proves this yet people continue to be duped.
Didn't Larry Holmes school 6 ft 6 Gerry Cooney? Let me ask you who during Wladmirs reign was even half as good as Holmes?
Ali beat on Ernie Terrel and Chuck Wepner both 6 ft 6 and 6 ft 5. 2 of the easiest fights of his career.
Joe Louis beat 6 ft 7 Buddy Baer, 6 ft 5 Abe Simon (250+ lbs) and of course 6 ft 5 250 lb Carnera. Funny thing is, these were the easiest fights of his career. Who were the hardest? 190 lb Schmeling, former LHW Billy Conn and probably Braddock. This doesn't include the tough fights he had past prime with former LHWs Charles and Walcott. Lastly the man who finally koed him was one of the smallest Hws ever, Marciano.
Now let's look at Ali, he actually destroyed all the big dudes he fought, Foreman, Bugner, Terrel and Wepner. Toughest fights? Frazier (204 lbs 5 ft 11) and lets not forget 190 lb Cooper dropping him.
Who ended up ending Holmes reign? Lhw Spinks, barely 200 lbs and smooth. Later on 5 ft 10 217 lb Tyson.
Last but not least who sparked Wlad? 6 ft 2 Lamon Brewster.
Of course Wlad ruled this era. Who the **** was there to challenge him?

we got Joe Louis the ref in this fight, the BIGGEST man in the ring by far in comparison to Frazier and Quarry. Training methods were different, heavyweights weren't smaller. If you run and train for stamina, and don't bulk up muscles you don't use in boxing (who needs a huge chest and belly for boxing) you wind up with 200-205 lb Heavyweights. It's all about the amount of weight you are carrying on your frame. Toney went from 160 lbs to 255 lbs, does this mean he was bigger than Joe Louis? If Joe Louis ate cheesburgers every day and lifted weights he could be 250 lbs no problem.
