    Who are they?

    During the Danny Lopez/Mike Ayala match, Gil Clancy commented that Danny Lopez appeared very large, a few weight classes larger than featherweight (Though I forget exactly what class he did say... Junior welterweight maybe? I can't remember)

    Kid Akeem was freakishly large as well.

    Paul Williams at 147.

    Gerald McClellan.

    He was blatantly a LHW when he was at MW.
