Seems like Lights Out was eating too many burgers when he was campaigning at heavyweight. If you could get him to disciplined (perhaps by promising him lifetime of free burgers post retirement if he stayed in shape during his career), what would his ideal heavyweight weight be? He campaigned pretty decently at heavy. I think 205-210 lbs would be ideal. He would have enough punch resistance and punching power at this weight while also having a highish work rate to succeed. I could see him beating anyone from 2003-06 except for the Klit brothers if he stayed in shape.
James could have been the overweight champion of the world. He went on the 14-day diet and all he lost was 2 weeks.
Realistically being born in the older era when Heavyweights were Cruiserweight sized would be his ideal Heavyweight weight.
In training camp for the Mc Cline fight, there were reports that Toney looked better than ever. he was reportedly between 220-225 IBS
Big James should fight at 200-210lbs he made the mistake the 175lbers have in the past thinking they can hold all this extra weight and they usually lose there key advantage over the dreadnoughts…
