    To be about the size of many "old school" heavyweights? Is he an accurate representation of 70's-sized heavyweights, in your opinion?

    Foreman, Ali, and Holmes--the guys who reigned before the so called "super heavyweights". Liston was another great example, as is Norton.

    Nah, just curious. I wanted to see the general opinion on the cruiserweight division's potential top fighter before he moved up. It would have been even better if Mormeck or Bell had decided to do so instead, but Haye will work quite nicely.

    He is roughly the same size as Ali, Holmes, Norton and Foreman. He isn't a Super Heavyweight, compare to Lewis and you'll see.

    I think Foreman is perhaps the beginning of Super Heavyweight. 6'4, 82". These numbers start to get ridiculous. He is a heavily built man who even in his old age carried 235 to 250 pounds or so.

    6'4 and up but with a well built frame is super heavy for me.

    He's a good size guy. About the size of a normal HW from the 70's or 80's. Great offensive arsenal.
