Assuming slow population growth, this would seem to follow from the "fighters are getting bigger" trend. If the world's population is growing taller and heavier (thereby producing a larger heavyweight talent pool), then the talent pool of small people will shrink as time passes.
The talent pool has already been splintered by numerous needless weights. Orientals will always be pretty small IMO If we're talking 100 years time or so...well, I'm not certain boxing will be all that relevant by then.
Instead of the best fighters being lightweights and welterweights they will be welterweights and light-middleweights, possibly.
And people will be on here saying there is no chance that 8'3 Heavyweight Champ' Obelisk Voltron would beat Prime Tyson.
...for the record, nobody beats prime tyson, not even obelisk voltron, horrible match-up for the chinny voltron who doesnt deal well with quick fighters with good head movement
his left head especially, and thats susceptible to tysons right uppercut (by the way I'm talking about New Jersey Tyson, a la Spinks, who can only be defeated by Montreal Duran) voltron's two spare arms might help tie tyson up and frustrate him, but ultimately his one lung means he can only last over the new heavyweight championship distance of 6 and a half rounds (Established after the Arreola-Kimbo Slice title fight debacle of 2014) so over the classic 12 tyson's conditioning would prevail
If it's under Voltrons ruleset he can use his fire breath, so I'd favour him over any Heavyweight there, with the only possible winner being Joe Grim, who could feasibly withstand the fire breath and 800-punch a round output of Voltron long enough he gasses.
i dont know, NJ Tyson was explosive and Voltron was no Montreal Duran.....if we're allowing fire breath does that mean we're allowing the "powerplay" where a fighter can call for his opponent to be bound and gagged for 1 min 27 secs of a round once per fight? if tyson gets this in early it could be close, but he has to pull the chord to sound the klaxon, and thats dangling above the ring with the only access being by ladder kept under the ring, and voltron had great ladder-set-up defence in his prime
well i suppose under obelisk "the humar castle wall" voltron's rules, it would be judged by 11 judges, 2 of whom watching it on 3d monitors with 3d glasses, and one judging from a live roud by round description on bbc sport, and it only takes 6 judges to give it to "the human castle wall" so it's more than possible
