Daniel Dubois vs Mike Tysons opposition pre prison

The point I'm making is that Shavers being 210 and a bit of a fatty in your eyes doesn't make him any less of a puncher in the real world. Many of these super heavies are 30 pounds overweight, or more.

Ok, Shavers KO rate against bigger men. Lets run with that

The two heaviest men he ever fought were 245 and 252 pounds. Neither heard the bell ending round 2. If we want to talk patterns, well when Shavers fought men over 240 pounds he got rid of them.........real fast!

 

This is a something a lot of hardcore modernists refuse to accept. BMI is still a thing.

Just because you're tall doesn't make it okay to be 40 lbs overweight. Just because you can still go 12 rounds without gassing doesn't change the fact you're at risk for diabetes, joint problems, or heart attacks. Yes, "some" HW boxers have the frame and biology to carry the extra weight in a way that isn't detrimental to their health. But that isn't the majority.

At almost any point in time from the early 00's till now, the top 10 had at least 3-5 boxers who would inarguably be healthier if they cut at least 10-20 lbs.
