Is it fair to say today's HW champions are more chinny?

I think the top heavyweights are less skilled than they were in the 1990's and 1970's heavyweights

all old men always reminisce about "the better days gone by" or "the good ol' days"

I just don't see Wlad or Fury (or Wilder, for that matter) having more KO power than a Lennox, a Mike Tyson, or a Vitali. To me the dividing line was between the Ali's, the Fraziers, versus today's HW's.

Remember the toe-to-toe between Mike Tyson and Buster Douglas? Those guys went all out on offense, trying to knock out the other guy. Same can be said for Vitali-Lennox, Tyson-Holyfied, and numerous others.

Compare those with any of Wlad's fights, including this latest one versus Fury...... and you can see a humongous difference. Before, HW's fought to knock the other guy out. Nowadays, they fight to survive and not get knocked out. Big difference.
