    some make a big difference because of the natural weight class and height difference as in Toney and Cyz and Dominguez, others are just so much more height and weight

    Johnson was a natural 170-180lber and he was fighting natural Heavys

    Mickey Walker fought some bigger men, I think Walker was 5'6

    Qawi was 5'5 and he fought Foreman

    Langford at 5'7 fought Wills who was 6'2.5

    there should be a S-HW division, these are completely different animals compared to "normal" smaller HWs.

    12 divisions from Fly - S-HW with approx. 10lbs between them...

    the Valuev's will always be beat by TOP smaller guys, BUT the Klits & LL's would rarely lose, a S-HW division for the giants to ALWAYS face other giants.

    then the Real HW's will be found and restored again.
