    Seeing as weight means everything in the heavyweight division, who is the champ

    who is the biggest heavyweight ever? since that clearly determines who is the best heavyweight of all time. let's hear it!

    Also quick fact -

    George Foreman was 212 lbs against Aaron Eastling.
    Roy Jones was 193 lbs vs ruiz. They are actually quite close in size. curious who wins.

    with todays super heavyweights such as James Toney and Chris Areolla, do you think we should make a new weight class to accommodate? I don't think it's fair to smaller guys like Wilder that come in at 212 lbs. I think Toney's weight advantage would prove to much.

    Sandy Saddler was the same size as Marciano--5'10". They missed each other by a few years, though, or that would have been a classic encounter.

      Weight has to either mean everything or nothing, there cannot be an inbetween.

          - -Dustin Nichols was 398 when he knocked down Deyonce in the waning seconds of the first rd.

          During the rest period Dustin mysteriously grew a nasty eye cut and was retired.

          My ol' AOL buddy Benny Henderson who may still write for Doghouse turned pro in the 360s after getting in shape.

          Bow and sc**** ye to supplication! Perfect 2 fights, 2 KOs, 2 rounds, and 2 minutes total of ring time.

          Read it and weep with yer ol' maws. Yer savior is nearer than you think!

            And, by golly, surprisingly, Butterbean and Chico Corrales are almost the same size at 5'11" and 5'10'. It's a go. Neither man has a size advantage to impose. Who do you boys feel would win that one over fifteen rounds?

              Does anyone think Chico brutalizes Butterbean with his big lefhooks? Or will Bean walk right through them and hammerfist Chico, piledriving him instantly down to the height of Mikey Garcia?

                erik morales walks around by the looks of it as a light heavyweight, in his comeback at 160, I reckon he beats the likes of Hagler and Lamotta (5 ft 9 and 5 ft 8 respectively, same height as him, I think Morales has a reach advantage on Lamotta - but don't quote me). they were around in the same day weigh in periods. If anything, Morales may be bigger.

                Saddler was the same size as Mrciano--5'10". They missed each other by a few years, though, or that would have been a classic encounter.
                rocky would have likely been too slow, Saddler also had a great reach advantage and a superior inside game, which was uncharacteristic of a man his build.

                  Sandy flat might be too spidery for the Rock. Marciano's most appealing option is the ol' two-handed pincer punch. Rock has to throw a lefhook and a right hook at the same instant, catching big Sandy in a pincers. The pincers will empty the big man of wind, as the Rock moves in.
