    Good question:good

    On a similar topic: What was the last fight for the (Patterson to Lewis Lineage) Heavyweight World Championship, to have both fighters having fought previously as pro's at under 180lbs?

    :good Too easy!

    No, well done, you clearly did not forget that when he turned pro Holyfield tried to kill himself to get down to Light Heavy.;)

    I recently read his book. It was not bad! So I knew it was Holyfield, the reason for the question mark was I thought maybe Bert Cooper had made that kind of weight at some point.

    Ruhlin is listed at 200 for his fight with Jeffries. If you want over, then it would be Johnson-Jeffries, without peeking.

    I thought it would be much later, although I did forget about Johnson and Jeffries being so big.

    Boxrec actually lists Johnson's fight with Tony Ross as being for the title, and Ross was listed as 207. I wonder what on earth the story is with this guy and this fight?

    One sided drubbing, apparently. Doesn't sound very interesting.

    He could of been, but Holyfield fought Cooper before he fought Moorer.

    But he fought Chris Byrd after he fought all of them. I believe this was for a world title (though not really lineal or undisputed).
