YOUR HW TRIFECTA?
Posted: 18 Sep 2019, 20:29
3 heavyweights.....their combined traits...your hybrid HW from hell????
I want the power of Deontay Wilder for sure. He doesn't connect much but when he does there is some serious schit behind his shots.
I want the size and boxing skill of Tyson Fury. The big old frame with the ability to do every type of boxing there is. He is the most adaptable HW I have ever seen in action. I also want his outside of the ring theatrics and entertainment ability....minus the drug binges.
I want the chin of the Hillyard Hammer Chauncy Welliver. 438 HW rounds without ever going down. The longest current round streak in the HW division and 2nd only all time to George Chuvalo. Oliver McCall is not stopping though and is only 2 rounds behind Welliver right now at 436 straight without getting dropped. Welliver has one of the very best chins over the entire history of HW boxing. He would have been an absolute beast in the unlimited round eras. You cannot beat who you cannot knock down. Very good stamina too for a man his size.
Put those 3 together like you used to build a guy on Bill Laimbeer's Basketball and boxing would be back in a big way. A true Super Heavyweight who terrifies every man on the planet and annihilates every man he faces. Someone to make the Mike Tyson era look small. Someone to make Ali look like he wasn't much of an entertainer.
I guess what it really comes down to is wanting Tyson Fury with more power and more chin. He has everything else I want. I only want Wilder's power and Welliver's chin. Subtract his penchant for drug binging. He could be a beast with more of that pop and ability to take bombs. Nobody would touch him and he would rise to iconic HW status.....be the savior of the sport. He still might do that...without those skills. If he does it might be even more exciting to watch because he is there for the taking at times and is having to go the long haul because he can't blast anybody out of there consistently. Boxing needs a new beast at HW who becomes larger than life. Fury is the guy today who has the best chance for it. Wilder does have the crushing power but he lacks so much else inside and outside the ring. Fury is the great white hope and the best hope for an iconic HW to emerge and relight a big fire under the sport.
