    What is the biggest weight diffenrence between two boxers, which has footage? so no victorian era stuff, '70s onwards.
    oh and not including heavyweight unless one of the boxers weighs less than heavyweight.
    Do any fights happen were at where say a featherweight fights a welterweight? :think

    if i remember correctly, when gatti fought baldomir. gatti went up like 8lbs or something and baldomir went up 20lbs on fight night. so gatti, a welterweight was pretty much fighting baldomir, a middleweight

    Aturo Gatti vs. anyone

    He regularly entered the ring at 140, as a middleweight

    Oscar vs. Mayweather was also huge.

    Floyd was 149. Oscar was 171

    Biggest in my memory is Oscar vs. Floyd

    And then probably Clottey vs. Zab

    I may be wrong, but I'm sure Zab was only 142 in ring. And Clottey was 166

    The difference between Cazares and Calderon was huge. I'm not sure if Cazares stepped on the scales on fight night but there were rumours he re-hydrated to 130lbs. For a guy fighting officially at 108, that would be incredible. Especially considering Calderon was only really a small Strawweight.

    I'm curious to know what Floyd weighs in fight night, they conceal this for some reason, however, he looked gigantic vs marquez, and against Mosley, who I expected to be bigger, looked like he had 6 to 7 pounds on him.

    according to ring magazine, Floyd weighed 152 the day of the fight.

    But to answer the question
    David Haye 218 pounds vs Nikolai Valuev 316 pounds.

    Beat me to it, he gave up 11" in height as well

    I think for a title fight its the biggest weight & height disparity & the smaller guy won :deal
