Light Punching/No Offence Heavyweights Make Me Sad

[Britkid]

Is there anything more depressing than a big strong looking heavy weight fighter who simply has little to no power or simply no offense worth mentioning?

Here are the top 3 Heavyweights that make me sad every time I watch one of their fights...


1) Eddie Chambers (as heavy weight) My old favorite that I was forced to give up on when it became apparent that his lack of power was a serious liability at the upper levels. One of the few heavy weights Wladimir didn't even have to fear being hit by.

2) Kevin Johnson - Oh so sad. He didn't have a high enough work rate and when he did punch, the opponent didn't have much to worry about. Vitali didn't have to flinch. Tyson Fury felt pretty safe that no harm would befall him.

3) Malik Scott - Just cannot keep people off of him. He does have speed but it was so apparent, for example, against Chisora, that the best Scott could hope for was that Chisora would run out of steam before he did, having to constantly high tail it out of there while throwing everything at Chisora to try to slow him down, but to no avail.


Can anyone else think of other heavy weights that you originally had hopes for but then reality hit like a ton of bricks?

ninjaspy3 you are a bloody disgrace

For four decades I went around the world pissing off the audience. I have been booed in Malaysia, USA and Britain. I am proud to say I have been kicked out of two countries, but I have found a home with my thick seemingly Afrikans accent in good ol' Australia mate!

No effort, just glad to be there, signing it in; you name it, I have avoided it. I made an art out of wasting my talents.

I pissed the Poms off early, beating their ancient Sir 'enry. Sure he was giving up 16 years and 25lbs, and only lost by a controversial decision, but you know mate I won, I was boring and I pissed off the crowd. So that was three wins not one.

But then I was pressured into fighting properly; so I met this fella Smokin' Joe was his name. Huge left hook. They must of drugged me or something because I stood there and took some right old wallops, got decked a couple of times too.

At the end of the fight I lost the decision. And what was worse was the commentators said I gave it a go, and to add insult to injury a few fans were cheering. I am proud to say I made sure that never happened again!

I went to Malaysia fought Ali; went 15 rounds with him. It was boiling, so I kept effort down to minimum as I had a swimming lesson booked after the fight. This ol' boy Ali kept pushing the fight, sweating all over me as he punched away. He almost knocked my 70s hairdo out of place, bloody bastard, anyone would think he was trying to win! Anyway I was not the one exhausted on a drip after the fight, no I was doing my lengths in the pool, drinking my champagne.

Went to Australia in the mid 80s, and was offered a fight with Bomber Bruno in 87. Easy money, let big Frank swing a way, but he caught me in the eighth so I go down to get away, and he kept thumping me. The referee did nothing, he was a disgrace, but what really annoyed me were the fans were cheering. We are boxers, we should not worry about that. Take the money, that is all that matters, sod your talent and potential.

Anyway still living Down Under, made a few dollars back in the 90s when I came back. Tried my best not to excite too many fans, but you know I am loved now!
