    Lara was reweighed at 170, wearing sweatpants (not sure what else):

    Heavyweights are Super heavyweights, Cruiserweights are Heavyweights, Light Heavyweights are Cruiserweights, Middleweights and Light Middleweights are Lights Heavies and Cruisers...but it all depends.

    didn't realise lara was so big.

    then again i also didn't realise that older fighters fought at the exact weight they weighed in at, you'd think a guy who just made weight would eat and drink in the hours between the weigh in and the fight.

    I can see why someone wanting the smaller man to win would start to consider that possibility.

    eh?

    i was wrong about lara and admitted it.

    hagler and everyone else who weighed in on the morning of the fight obviously put on some weight before entering the ring. you think hagler weighed in at 158 12 hours before a fight then actually weighed that in the ring?

    why do i need to be biased for either of those things?

    Chris Bryd could beat 270lb heavyweights in IBF title fights but wound up getting knocked out by a lightheavyweight journeyman.

    Was this not the post I replied to?

    And did you not mention the small men of earlier 20th century, of which Dempsey was one?

    Did you somehow miss the part (again) where I was writing specifically about smaller fighters who used their jabs and lateral movement to control distance and disrupt Tua's offense? If not, does that sound like Dempsey to you? I don't understand your point--what am I missing? :huh

    Ok, I'll possibly match Hagler more fairly.

    so you are comparing a bum like Jameel McCline with david tua (or like evidence of beating a big guy?)and then you mention a fight of byrd against a lhw in the end of his carrer like evidence of what? plus byrd never ever got knocked out by this guy, a tko stoppage is not "knocked out" make a favour to the world a delete this bunch of garbage of post
