Dempsonny,

I think we agree! (1) I don't see how a 320 lb HW could get any speed on a punch, much less a 400 lb one. (2) I agree that this is not an era of great heavyweights--partly because the promoters and the public seem to believe that big muscles do equal power. However, there are a few exceptions (BIG heavyweights who also have speed and accuracy, and therefore power): George Foreman, maybe Lennox Lewis in his prime (I say "maybe" on Lewis because in my opinion the quality of opposition he faced was much lower than that faced by Foreman).
