Biggest weight differences overcome at heavyweight

For title fights Haye gave up 99 pounds to Valuev and Chagaev gave 91 pounds to Valuev. For all fights its clearly Fitzsimmons hes got

165 v 300
170 v 260
155 v 230
160 v 230

Only the 170 v 260 was against a notable opponent in Dunkhorst but these are tough figures to top. All 4 fights were 1st or 2nd round KOs.

If you're looking for examples over 50 pounds just look up past superheavyweights theres plenty of them.

 

Wilder was 215lbs when he faced 398lbs Dustin Nichols.

 

I thought this was a joke post before I looked it up

Legitimately looks like a sideshow fight.

 

Dubois 239 v Miller 333

94lb difference.

 

Mickey vs Carnera?

 

I don’t know…. Scheming probably didn’t bang as hard as Carnera and he was shell shocking Mr Walker… Carnera would also probably have no fear of Walker, just grab him up and rip uppercuts down the middle and beat him into submission, I only suggest Greb because I think he could fight tactically enough to outbox primo, it’d be a HARD fight and he is possibly the P4P GOAT so maybe just on pedigree? He also had a top, top, top shelf chin - Thinking about it, Carnera might just rag doll / smother and beat Greb down… maybe it depends on the ref? I actually do think Greb or Walker could do it, I think Walker knew how to fight inside incredibly well and could create a lot of openings on PC who might just try to get square and pull his guard open to Donkey Kong punch him lol they’re also so skilled they could turn inside fighting into a non contact sport on a whim if they want.

 

If you say so.

 

Of all the white Hispanic heavyweights in Nebraska, in 1981, it was Cupcake Johnson who had to fight my own hometown's hero, Licorice McLish, a man whose ropy, 6'7, 196-pound frame, said to have both legs out-weighed by his meatus, and while taller, he narrowly outpointed the also-titled "Boxing Baker," Cupcake. But while at a 290-pound disadvantage, I guess it's just meaningless trivia to you, because they weren't rated highly enough or whatever. Jerk.

 

Seriously, that was their weight

 

Most Valuev opponents no?

and didn’t Langford get up there at times when he’d fight at heavyweight (despite being 160)? He’s got to have some 40lb-50lb+ ones on the books.
