I can appreciate WK like I could that German who perfected just a few moves around a very tight defense fuck what was his name that guy who ko'ed Mundine

then retired unbeaten. Spen Oktte.
I had my head on Oktte Urkal for a second,poor bastard I shouldnt even have his name in the same paragraph as Spen, Urkal was an exciting hard hitting fighter who put it all on the line.
You make the mistake of so many by comparing modern HW's with Cruiserweights of the past that were CALLED HW's then.
In general, OF COURSE a 210lb boxer is going to be faster than a 250lb one.
In general, OF COURSE a 210lb boxer is going to be capable of more movement and punch output than a 250lb one.
If that's what you regard as being good quality boxing Andre, then I am sorry to say, but the HW's are ONLY going to get bigger and this situation is never going back to the way you liked it.
Therefore hold on to that old DVD collection, because it'll never be seen again.
OR you could get acquainted with the Cruiserweight division
