Heavyweight rating in each size class Big,Med,Small-top 10

If you guys think a fighter should be ranked in both or one because of his height (Tyson 5-10-5"11) as in the case of Tyson Height small, Weight Med (215 & up) you can rate him in both if he qualifies but as far as Large I think the weight should be over 230-240lbs lbs unless the fighters height qualifies him as large as in the case of Ernie Terrell, it need not be both....Tyson was very short IMO 5'9 or 5"10

 

shame about Ike was that he had a short career, he had potential but we really don't know how it would have panned out. He seemed to be someone to watch but he cracked outside of the ring before he may have cracked inside...I often wonder how good guys like Tony Ayala and Luther McCarthy would have been but hard to guess....Ike looked great in his pressure KO over Byrd the Tua fight was close...would he be able to compete with the likes of Holyfield or Lennox is still a question mark and will always be

 

good point

 

I think if a fighter is short but only 5-10 lbs higher than 210 he could fall into the small category because that is only 5% body weight and may have a lot to do with the different training methods so Tyson could fall into the small category like McGrain put him or if you think his weight was more of a factor than his height put him in the Med section

 

I really dont see how you can rate him that high with only 2 fights that standout, the Byrd fight was impressive but a lot of people feel the Tua fight could have gone either way....for me I can speculate on Ike's potential but speculation does not get him to the highest point his potential may have taken him

He beat Byrd badly and I give him an A+ for that but basically fought on even terms with Tua....He showed a lot in those fights but IMO he was a woulda, coulda,shoulda

 

If you had to integrate the 3 lists what would your top 30 look like

 

surprised a lot of the Big Guy jock strappers did not post there top 10 in each but I think I know why

 

I think you are correct McGrain :good
