Imagine if boxing was divided by height classes instead of weight

De La Hoya vs Tyson (maybe, not sure what there actual heights are)

That would be sweet.

 

Even better: Panama Al Brown vs. Tyson.

 

Damn, those are some crazy matchups. :shock:

 

muhamid ali vs kelly pavlick!

 

Wouldn't change much. Of course each fighter would gain as much weight as possible. :conf

 

Carlos Zarate against Tony Galento?

 

Im a Delahoya Fan that wouldnt be sweet! Ok what a rock how about Fenech vs Qawi or Lionel Rose vs Carmen Basillio

 

Raul "Jibaro" Perez vs Joe Fraizer
Genaro Hernandez vs MIke Tyson
Paul Gonzalez vs David Tua
Joey Olivo vs Marvin Hagler
Jeff Chandler vs Roberto Duran
Michael Carbajal vs Aaron Pryor
Arthur Johnson vs Pipino Cuevas
Sean Ogrady vs Archie Moore
Mark Johnson vs Frankie Warren

 

Or by reach? :think

 

This rule would certainly **** over the likes of Michael Nunn, Thomas Hearns, Paul Williams, and Michael Spinks. I think they were all freakishly tall for their weight classes.

 

Ok i can agree on the first 3 but Michael Spinks:huh He seemed to do well in my opinion as a heavyweight going 4-1 with 2kos over a slightly taller Holmes, much taller Cooney and Tangstaad. His only loss was to a shorter Tyson.

 

Spinks was 6'3...He'd come up against the likes of prime Larry Holmes, Toney Tucker, Donovan Ruddock, and Pinklon Thomas. I think he had it easier in the LHW division, as great as it was. Prime Holmes would have spanked him.

 

If this was the case, the advantage would go towards thick builds. Qawi might have been the GOAT.

 

Liston versus...society.
