Giant Slayers

I'm pretty confident that Qawi and Langford were never the taller man in a fight.

 

the Two Definitive "Little, Big Men!"

 

Roberto Duran of course. Not just any big men. Very good, great big men.
Hank Armstrong. Almost the perfect style to beat taller fighters.
Qawi what was he 5'7" when most Lt heavyweights were 5'11" 6'1"

 

Think Holyfield and Louis deserve a shout

 

Over nine years and 22 consecutive fights, one boxer has been significantly outweighed by the following pounds when he and his opponent stepped on the scale.

* 42 pounds
* 17 pounds
* 32 pounds
* 44 pounds
* 27 pounds
* 34 pounds
* 17 pounds
* 20 pounds
* 5 pounds
* 8 pounds
* 10 pounds
* 20 pounds
* 17 pounds
* 11 pounds
* 28 pounds
* 8 pounds
* 12 pounds
* 15 pounds
* 21 pounds
* 33 pounds
* 23 pounds
* 26 pounds

And there's no telling how much his opponents outweighed him by when the bell rang.

Yet he only lost once.

 

And that man’s name?

Butterbean.

 

They're heavyweights, they don't cut water weight so they wouldn't have rehydrated. Do Wilder's opponents look like the type to dehydrate themselves before a weigh in?

 

I am that guy. research tomorrow

 

They look like the types who have finished training camp and spend the last two days eating and drinking and laying around ... waiting for the opening bell.

They aren't 'losing weight' before the opening bell.

Although, Wilder lost weight after the weigh-in and before the opening bell for Fury 1. He weighed in just before the fight at 209.

 

Not to me they don't

 

Joe Frazier

Jack Dillon

Pernell Whitaker

Jose Napoles

 

Nigel Benn.

He had no business in the ring with Barkley, Galvano, Eubank (II) or McClellan.
