Hrgovic is the best out of that 2016 Olympic Superheavies?

wtf G I been calling for a SH division on here since 2002. e.g. No way Tyson Fury vs Joe Frazier is a fair fight. Actually let's take some numbers here. Let the forum chime in here who they think would win/how it would it go, for real, prime Smokin Joe 1971 vs Tyson Fury.

You're right.

BTW, "superheavy" is SUCH a misnomer in Olympic boxing. It's dated by about 50-60 years. 200 pounds seems to be the "immovable object" in boxing. The IOC calls is "superheavy" and the pros just call it "heavyweight." Either way, the division is open-ended at the top.

1971 Frazier vs. Tyson Fury? Well... there would be about a 70 pound difference (prime Joe was somewhere between 205-210 pounds, whereas Fury has averaged over 270 for his last four fights). There would also be a FOOT DIFFERENCE in reach and 10-inch difference in height. Translation: A freak show where Fury would just smother and lean on Frazier to death... winning by exhaustion.

I think the problem is availability. Apparently it's hard enough finding enough elite boxers today at the heavyweight level, to populate what once was the most popular division in boxing. If to that you add a separation between heavyweights and SUPERheavies (say... somewhere around 220)... all you'd accomplish is watering down a division that can hardly afford any more loss in quality and popularity.

Honestly, he's pretty glacial and seems to like proving his beard as much as Joyce does. The whole super thing was overblown back when Max Kellerman would go on and on about its necessity for the likes of Mount Whitaker and Michael Grant among others . But how does Richard Torrez Jr all of 6'1 and 220 (5 lbs of mustache) ever qualify as a Superheavy. I've always stuck to the belief that in this limited instance as proven out...it's not the size that matters as much as the magic .
