The Heavyweight Division is An Embarrassment

These 'athletes' make our sport look bushleague. Their athleticism is non-existent. Their gas tanks? What gas tanks? Skill? Psh. We just watched two obese men do very poor kickboxing. We need more athletes like Francis Ngannou to give this division some actual legitimacy.

 

I can KO Lewis.

 

HW division is good for one thing - first round knockouts. Other than that, it has little to offer.

Maybe people like it because it's most similar to real life fights in that they don't have the endurance to last more than a couple minutes and their athletic abilities are extremely limited so you're just seeing wild slugging, which I would assume is what most casual fans think fighting consists of or is most relatable to their own abilities/knowledge.

 

I told you Hunto had that shit.

 

bro these guys would kill everyone with bare hands

 

Should get rid of it and flyweight.

 

What are they supposed to do defy the laws of physics.

 

Stop hating on Hunto.

 

A multiple time world kickboxing champion "did poor kickboxing". Ok. DL is 300 lbs, throwing switch kicks.

What is with you people?

 

These threads happen once-twice a year....shouldn't be a huge revelation about the HWs anymore. It is what it is.

 

It's a shit division

 

Settle down there chicken little

 

Exactly. Quite frankly Lewis showed some outstanding athleticism, and Hunt is always fast as shit with amazing cardio for a 270 lb guy

 

the sport is bushleague.

 

Heavyweight was my favorite division during the Pride years in its heyday. Sad that some 14 years later those fighters are not only NOT retired but top 5 to 10!!! Today. Where is the new blood???

 

Hilarious, sherbro goes "look at his gas tank!!" Knowing damn well you wouldnt last 2 minutes with him, much less wear him down to a tko. pfffffffffffffffffffffff

 

Yeah, fuck you TS. I usually like your posts but right now you just sound fucking stupid. If you ever got hit by a guy that big you'd eat the canvas after the first punch. A flyweight? Probably not, unless you're an underweight manlet.

 

Struve and Duffee both underachieved

 

Lewis had a back injury, he threw all he could at Hunt before the adrenaline wore off, but Hunt is a tank. This isn't the NFL or NBA where guys can get a toradol and lidocaine shot, and then can eat a bunch of vicodin to get out there, there is drug testing.

 

?

The sport is bushleague, it doesn't just take the HW division to show you that.
