Todays heavys may not match on the skill level but im sure they make up for it with the power.

Louis v Galento

Galento fights like Tank Murdoch from every which way but loose, Filo Beddoe would wreck todays heavys
Yes I have seen how many times he was dropped I also take note of the fact he had 72 fights, won 69 of them and 55 by KO and only lost 3 times, and dominated the heavyweight division from 1936 (post Schmelling) to 1950 vs Ezzard Charles.

But what can I say.


As per Haye draining weight to make cruiser....don't they ALL do that? Don't ALL cruiserweights suck weight to make it down to that division so they don't have to fight at heavyweight and so like other fighters at lower weight classes they can use their size against their opponents. Evander Holyfield was a weight drained and he had to prove himself despite being a great cruiserweight and that being the best case scenario David Haye still needs to prove himself, everything he did at cruiserweight is irrelevant at heavyweight.

Lennox Lewis, David Tua, Riddick Bowe, Vitali and there are others above 240 who could punch pretty good.
