Heavyweight division will always get the glory from boxing fans because they're the biggest baddest gladiators in the sport of fighting.

Behave.
Alistair Overeem, Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velasquez, et al would murder these guys, even in a straight stand up fight, let alone allowing groundwork.

Biggest baddest boxers yes, fighters not a chance.

Heavyweight division will always get the glory from boxing fans because they're the biggest baddest gladiators in the sport of fighting. A small guy might be more technically gifted but ultimately he still gets knocked cold by the big guy in a fight. Just like how the 100m sprint champ has the glory of being the fastest in the world in the sport of running. Other sprinters might be technically better but the public wont be as interested in the slower guys with nice stride patterns.


200m runners go faster than the 100m runners, just saying.

They should have a go at the 100m in that case.

not sure thats true

I think he's saying that due to the fact that the 200m world record (19.19 sec) is less than twice the time of the 100m record (9.58 sec). The reason for that is that a human can run full speed for up to 300m (I think?) and so during a 200m race the athlete is already at peak speed when entering the 2nd 100m of the race, hence his overall speed (metres/second or whatever) is faster. The reason the 100m racer is 'slower' is due to the fact that he has to start from a standing start.
This is why the 100m relay record is faster still at 37.04 sec.

Yep, the top speed recorded for a human running was during the 200m, because of the reasons above.

Also, the 100m runners might be the marquee athletes for the occasional athletics fans, but the long-distance runners benefit from a longer career potentially.

i know that but the physical top speed is performed by athletes running the 100m not the 200m.

A longer career isn't really a great benefit, especially when you're paid a fraction as much.

A great benefit is high-fiving friends in McDonalds and dunking chicken nuggets with gold swinging round your neck after 10 seconds work. The long-distance runner is still blowing out his arse round the city streets two hrs later grabbing at those wet sponges to try and make the pain go away.

Genuinely think Brook will completely outclass Hatton and can't see it being too much of a test tbh. Brook is a very good technical fighter imo and can see him being up there in the near future.

Interesting interview with Mayweather...



Hard to see this as anything other than Mayweather bottling the fight against Manny. Why on earth would Manny take $40m for the fight and let Pbf have the rest, what a joke.
