Experts suppose this is a division of a universal fashion toward larger, sturdier athletes in the entire sports, they consider the giants are complicated to defeat and expect a day when super heavyweight division is a standard in boxing.
Chris Byrd is a small heavyweight who contended with Klitschkos and 6’6” Jameel McCline. It is almost impossible for small heavyweight person to compete with the giants as they are getting larger and better.
Past heavyweight title holder Michael Moorer, 6’2” weighing 220-225 pounds at his excellence, indicated that the mentioned giants with 6’7” opponent Alexander Dimitrenko are entirely from previous Soviet states and speculates what children were fed in that location.
Presumably, athletes in that area are becoming naturally larger. In Flint, Michigan as well, Byrd’s father was amazed on how the children are getting larger in his gym programs. The issue in US, as several spectators suggested is that most of the athletic giants are performing defensive end in NFL and power forward in NBA.
