Big is the operative word, he showed his best form against James Toney in the second fight and obviously the first fight with Wlad. Since then he has been over weight and unmotivated. His pitiful performance against Vitali losing every round and quitting was embarrassing. His re-match with Wlad was poor too. The fact that he won a title says all we need to know about the current heavyweight scene. In the 1990’s he would have only been a contender never a champion.

There have been many heavyweights who disappoint Tua, Grant and Audley come to mind.
