I'm not belittling either fighter, or the thread, but sometimes it is a lot easier to identify traditional techniques in the heavyweight division as they are performed more slowly.
For this reason I often watch a bloated James Toney at heavyweight. The skills are present; he still has the boxing knowledge; but he has decelerated, allowing the thought process to be identified that much easier. This may apply to another thread currently active; Mike McCallum's rise through the weight categories; never equaling his mastery at LMW.
Isnt that the truth; they also over commit a bit when fighting outside of their usual boundaries with the weight too.
