    There was a British titlefight the other month.

    Williams v McDermott, both ripped and muscular, about 98% body fat each

    go on about wlad all you want he pish and if you put him a good heavyweight era he wouldnt even be heard of. im not saying boxers need to look like mike tyson. its not really about looks if they were fat and moved well and boxed well ok. toney was not that bad when he first came up to heavy and he looks like a budah. boxers are athletes and in this modern day obesity filled, world the heavyweights to look at damage the reputation of dare i say it boxing. obviously you are going to get fat heavys but almost all of them. i was watching ali foreman the other day they looked like true athletes and ali was in his thirtys at the tale end of his career. bring back the great heavys but for starters bring back the in shape heavys.
    A right hand can take you round the block, A jab round the world.

    Foreman was a monster, yet he was not obese.

    What it comes down to for me is this; If I believe my wife could whip the two guys going at in the ring then I don't watch those classes. So far, i'm sure the only ones she can't whip are the heavyweights.

    Being a former heavyweight fighter myself, sure, i've got a biased view of the other classes. But they are not without their uses. I remember many many times warming up with some middlewieght fighters back in the dressing room before our fights. I'd pick them up and curl them a bit, press them overhead a few times, and maybe use the longer thinner ones to use as a rope to skip. Sometimes my small sons would spar with them before their fights just to help them out. I'd make my sons wear 18 oz gloves so the middleweight fighters wouldn't get hurt too bad.
