    previous poster bettered me as i was posting..

    although 'killed in the ring'...i think caneras and baers opponent died a short while after leaving the ring..

    Marciano.

    Patterson came close but he was over 200 when he fought Willie Johnson in 1967.

    Well, with Braddock I was counting newspaper decisions... so Charles would be the right answer minus those fights.

    Marciano was actually the last HW Champ who never fought over 200Lbs. Patterson was 200 1/4Lbs. for one fight... under 200 for all of his others though.

    correct, although some sources only give Dempsey credit for 25... either way it's more than Tyson's 22
