    Doesn't fight them because he never has been a litheavyweight. Can't compare eras the last 25 yrs to the first 120 yrs. They do not fight in their weight class.

    He's smaller than Conteh, and cuts down less than Qawi and Galindez.

    Really? 4 hrs before the fight does he? I doubt it.

    In the amateurs Artur grew into HW I don’t think the same can be said of any of these others from memory.

    Qawi used to train down from 190. Beterbiev does from 185. Same with Galindez.

    Conteh fought the first 10-15 fights as a HW. IIRC, he was actually seen as a possible opponent for Ali if he stayed there.

    No doubt. Eddie wasn't consistent enough.

    Exactly. People have gone completely ridiculous about this weigh-in thing.

    And many times the weigh ins were 4-5 hrs before the fight. Could Biev do THAT? No way.
