    What BMI would the Ruiz who showed up for the rematch be?

    Weight already covers BMI, you are over-complicating things. If you want the most fair competition then height has to be taken into consideration.
    IMO, its kinda bull**** that Rafael Espinoza is competing at 126. Boxrec lists him as taller than Dimitrii Bivol...

    36.4. The worst all time for any HW title fight participant.

    The BMI stat's only possible use in boxing would be show whether a boxer is unsually tall or short for his weight class.
    But the HEIGHT stat does that anyway, in a clearer, easier to understand way.

    All boxers weigh pretty much the same on the weigh-in, except heavyweights.
    So just look at height.
