People say Heavyweights aren't skilled and thus they have to put in a p4p. But, I think heavies are the most technically skilled- at the high level- than all of the other weights.
When one punch can change the fight... not a one punch and then a barrage... but one punch, from any heavy in the top ten- and not just one or two guys in the division- then you have to be skilled, have concentration and the mental fortitude to stick it out.
Yea... there may only be 10 punches thrown a round. But if 5 of those are murderous, with you lulled to sleep by inaction, then by goodness you had better know what's what.
I would much rather fight at a lower weight, roll the dice, than to fight in the heavies. You have to know your stuff.
It's like a highly technical job, like nuclear disaster clean up. Yes, it is a necessary job. But, how often does it happen? But, when it does, you have to know what the fuck it is you're doing- thus the danger of the heavyweight division.
