    When a person like Morrison has been in training for years and years he's going to physically peak early.

    Morrison was filled out at 200lb unlike Ali was still skinny.

    the point of this dumb thread is that this puppet was insinuating that the size is not a big factor.. and it is false 100%. an all time great prime hw would beat an all time great prime 185 pounder..
    the examples of louis vs carnera.. dempsey vs willard...are not valid...they are big bums or average fighters vs all time greats...

    Rocky V.. so this is 1 year after he's gone pro? You think that's natural? He looks WAY bigger then he did in the amateurs

    thats him at 214lb..he is not a natural HW,his chest is massive,his arms are massive..hes blown up even at 214

    rocky v? it is your best proof? lol a person trained for a film? search fights of morrison at 220 pounds and you will see that he looked very slim at this weight, he looked compact at 227-230, he had a very different body. look at him at 210... he was skinny.. he was not a natural cruiser if he was skinny at 210 pounds... a natural cruiser is packed of muscle at 210 pounds.. it is pure logic...

    morrison at 214? and can you prove it? i am waiting... i know a thing for sure.. when a fighter fought at 200 pounds in the amateurs when he was very young(around 18 or 19), he is not a natural cruiser because he will get heavier with the age. morrison was cleary naturally bigger than evander, and holyfield was a natural cruiser, evander was packed of muscle 100% at 209 pounds at age 29... morrison fought at 200 in the amateurs when he was around 18 and his body looked virgin and slim, he was not trained in a gym(weights) at this time ... can you explain it?

    They used/filmed his fight against Lorenzo Canady and his weight was 211. He's blown up man just accept it

    Boxrec says George Foreman is 6' 3 1/2". Wikipedia says he's 6'4".

    Most sources say that Evander Holyfield is between 6'2" and 6'3" but you claim he's not even 6'1".

    I don't get why you are knocking an inch and a half off of everyone. Are you trolling?

    To be fair like many sports exaggeration is used. I stood next to Frank Bruno and was clearly taller than him. I am 6' 3.5" Bruno is said to be 6' 3". He thought I was 6' 5"...

    Then how in gods name did he draw against a heavyweight monster like Ramhan, then later TKO him?

    The guy who knocked out Lennox Lewis.

    Dosn't this rather underline the absurdity of the blind faith you place in a fighters size and physical appearance?

    I am not saying that these fighters are not the height claimed for them, but it would not be the first time that they added an inch to a fighter for promotional purpouses.
