    Help me compelte the best bald fighters of all time in a pound for pound sense. This, of course, elimates ButterBean and Valuev. This could be a fun thread. I'm struggling a bit. I guess most of the best boxers had a full set of hair.

    Odd observation, you don't see many top level bald fighters in the lower weights. There is a reason for this but you'll have to figure out why. For now I'm keeping the reason to myself.

    Wimpy Halstead deserves a mention.

    Since you put in Fitz, does that mean even balding people count, rather than fully bald?

    Also, might wanna put in Floyd Mayweather Jr

    It's an internet message board. No one here cares that you're blowing a few feathers.

    Is a shaved head the same as bald? Because if so I am bald by choice not by nature

    Larry David wouldn’t consider you part of the bald community (als Trick or Treat episode of Curb your enthusiasm).

    Neither do I, but the TS does not seem to differentiate in the OP

    Holyfield had a fine head of hair when he won the heavyweight title and only started losing it when the steroids started kicking in. Still, didn’t go totally bald until a couple of years later so don’t know if he should be on the list especially since by taking the steroids he kinda chose to go bald by choice rather than going naturally bald.

    I don’t think Mayweather should count as bald. He has a full head of hair but just shaves it.

    I have never seen a photo of Fitz with full hair! Guys who shave and grow it back do not count. My thread, my rules!

    A lot of men say that they aren’t bald but just shaved it off but they were probably going bald anyway. Wouldn’t be surprised if Mayweather at his age is probably bald or balding anyway.

    On second though bald guys love the goatee. Hmm, okay Money makes the list! One small problem. The guys I put on it would fight anyone!

    Butch Coolidge from Pulp Fiction. The dude killed a man in the ring. Who cares if his L.A. privileges were revoked? He's one bad mofo. His lack of hair follicles obviously didn't stop him from getting the hot chicks.
