    220 = too small in todays era.

    I think you're looking at 6'3, 235 to be an average sized heavyweight these days.

    completely disagree. . . 220 @ 6'2'' is more than adequate. . . Especially if you're right around 10% body fat, which Jennings is. . .

    People think the HW division has gotten "bigger". . . It hasn't gotten bigger, per se, but rather, simply FATTER. . .

    The Klitschkos are the exception, and not the rule, even in this contemporary fistic era of HW's. . . It's VERY RARE for a HW to be 6'6''-6'7'', 238-245 @ 10ish% body fat. . .

    You got Arreola who is what? About 6'3'' (he's listed at 6'4'', but i don't think he is), and 240 pounds (on a good day), but around 28% body fat. . .

    BY-BY is quite big enough to be a future HW champion. . . When Wladimir retires. . . NOBODY is beating Wlad right now. . NOBODY.

    220 @ 6'2 will just get absolutely ***** slapped by the high numbers of 6'4-6'7 guys who are now capable boxers, can move in the ring just as well as guys at 6'2 and throw much heavier shots because they're more natural at HW.

    Take a look at James Toney to get an idea as to why a smallish heavyweight cannot compete in todays era. Even take Arreola who is in your example, he had no chance against the dominant fighters in his division and the next crop coming through would likely spank him too. David Haye is another example of a small heavyweight not being able to cope at the weight - Adamek too

    The next crop

    You've got
    Robert Helenius 6'6 - 240
    Kubrat Pulev - 6'5 - 245
    Tyson Fury - 6'9 - 245
    Mariusz Wach - 6'7 - 240

    They're all well conditioned taller athletes who move as quick as the smaller examples. The Klitschkos have simply benchmarked what is possible for a big man and how to go about training them - you'll see more and more of this come through in future, especially from Eastern Europe.

    If you're 6'2 and under? go fight at CW.

    Dude James Toney is FAT AS ****. . There's a HUGE difference between a guy liek Toney who is 250 @ 30+% body fat, and a guy who weighs 220 @ 10% body fat. . .

    How many HW's are 6'4''+, and low body fat? David Price? He hasn't done **** yet. . And BY-BY is twice as fleet of hand, and foot. . .

    The Klitschkos are an anomaly. . They are the EXCEPTION, NOT the rule. . .

    6'2'',220 @ 10% > 6'5'', 250 @ 20% body fat.

    How many times have we seen speed, and skills prevail over size? ESPECIALLY when that size is mostly body fat. . .

    BY-BY's size is just fine. . .

    Once you get to be a certain size, I'd say around 220, actually, poundage differential doesn't have nearly the significance as it does at the lower weights, for example, a lightweight, and a middleweight. . .


    BY-BY is exponentially faster than all those guys you listed. . . We've seen SOOOOO many times that 20-30 pounds means DICK ALL. . Skills. . Skills pay bills. . .


    Now Eddie Chambers? yeah, he needs to go to CW. . Alhtough he ***** SLAPPED Dimitrenko. . . LOL. . Adamek ***** SLAPPED Arreola. . . Chisora ***** SLAPPED HELENIUS. . .

    The thing you seem uncapable of recognising is that James Toney is used as an example as a guy who was able to dominate fights through skill level and having some of the best defensive routines in the business but that ultimately meant nothing against the bigger guys.

    You can talk about "body fat" all you want, but show me the 10% 220lbers who existed previously? Mohammad Ali was certainly not 10% bodyfat, more like 15-20% (which by the way is a healthy range)

    Fact is, people in general are taller and more mobile/agile than they were - it's why we're seeing great olympic sprinters get taller and taller, baseballers, even the average height in the NBA has increased in the last 15 years.

    So you'd have to be either absolutely ignorant or in your case, absolutely ****ing stupid to not see that 6'2 - 220 is simply not big enough to compete anymore.

    ps - I mentioned Arreola as too small to compete as a HW, so pointing out Adamek beat him when he was so horribly beaten by Klitschko makes no sense.

    ps - The only person who felt Chisora won the fight against Helenius were British or people like you. Helenius won the fight, accuracy + height.

    ps - You're a ****ing mook.

    You're a chubby little ****er, telling an ex olympic boxer and professional with an 18-2 record that you'd whip his ass.

    So you're ugly, fat, stupid and delusional - lucky girl whoever ends up drunken and vulnerable around you then.
