He was able to ad 25 lbs of muscle, while still maintaining a reasonable degree of mobility and power. Its possible that Rocky may have been able to boost his weight from 185 to say 200, and still been effective. But it still wouldn't have been enough against a giant heavy like a Lewis or a Klit. At 220 lbs, he would have been stuck in the mud. An easy target..

Evander Holyfeild was not 6'2''. He is closer to 6' than 6'2''. and Marciano was 5'11''. Evander was always listed as 6' 1'' as a cruiserweight. I think compared to Marciano Holyfeild was actually the smaller frame. If you check the debut weights of both and compare them I think it shows Marciano was naturaly the bigger guy.
