    okay guys i just had to ask you lot

    if a guy was about 6ft3 and weighed about 215 to 220 pounds
    reach roughly let say 80"

    would you say he is a proper heavyweight just based on these physical stats?

    I think 210-220 might be the very best weight for a HW. That incorporates Ali, Tyson, Liston, Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes, George Foreman. All h2h demons.

    i mean david haye does belong at heavyweight there is no questioning that, or even his title shot so peeps should just enjoy the great attention he is bringing to the star division that was dying

    anyone over 200 after training, i would say. i'm a little over 200 but if i ever fought i'm positive i could get under 175.

    I stand corrected.
    Anyone who at fight time is over 200 lbs is a heavyweight.
