Jack Dempsey in the Klitschko era

No ifs or butts. That was his natural weight. No popeyes around back then. You were what you were.

 

You like butts, eh?

 

Dino deciding for a fact what Byrd's weight would have been in the 1920's atsch Who was the felon that let him out of the nuthouse?

 

He claimed he was under 200 pounds coming over on the plane for Wlad I.
He eat his way into a small HW. That's factual.

 

It's actually startling to contemplate how wide IQ's can range within the human species. I used to think that folks were all more or less the same. Alas, it appears that some individuals like to display their ignorance and disabilities in public; indeed, they wear it as a badge of honour. (Except, of course, that bet-welchers have no honour).

 

Alas and alack, Middleweight is 160 pounds. (155 pounds if you are Canelo) Not 200 pounds.

Also, what I believe you meant to say, is "he ate enough to become a small heavyweight". Instead, you said that he ate a hole into another human. I assume that you are not accusing Chris of cannibalism, yes?

 

The thread asks about Jack Dempsey in the Klitschko era. I believe in this era he would not weigh 190 pounds since there isn't a single active HW of that weight come fight night.

 

Then you are talking about a different fighter.

A fighter that may well have been worse than the 1920's Dempsey.

Or, he may have been an accountant :deal

 

We've got quite a few people on the left side of the bell curve here.

We've also got quite a few on the right side.

95% of people range between 70 to 130.

Oh, I've seen a bet-welcher here. He's been gone for a while, and claims a 137-139 IQ.

 

Same way Holyfield might well have been worse after bulking up, or Haye, we just don't know. What we do know is no one in the modern era failed to bulk when making the move north.

 

Haye proved he could bulk up and become a pretty sizable heavyweight.

 

Yes, Haye was a counterpuncher who avoided direct confrontation. If he tried to swarm his often much larger opponents, he would've gotten knocked out.
