    Joe Frazier, 204lbs, 5'11
    Earnie Shavers, 210lbs, 6'0
    Sonny Liston, 213lbs, 6'1
    Mike Tyson, 218lbs, 5'10
    Joe Louis, 200lbs, 6'2
    George Foreman, 220lbs, 6'3

    Heck, even Larry Holmes was a modern day cruiserweight - 214lbs, 6'3

    Does that not make you think a little? Our best street fighters are cruiserweights, and around 6'1.

    Just wondering (as i dont really follow the sport hardly at all) but what size are the superheavyweights in MMA or those types of sports. Are they the same size generally speaking as heavyweight boxers are nowadays.
