    Does anyone know who the smallest heavyweight prospects are today?
    Are there any really short heavyweight prospects? Anyone under 6'2?

    I know Bejenaru started at HW, but he's fighting at CW right now, correct?

    Just trying to get a sense of the landscape in the HW division for fighters who are not huge.

    George Arias is very impressive and around the size of Mike Tyson

    Arias is 6'0 225/230 pounds, those extra inches make a differance ,he also resembles Joe Frazier more than Tyson so hes more of a grinder . IMOP he doesn't show enough power to deal with the top guys now,at least last I saw ,hes been very inactive maybe thinking over career? Hes only fought 5 times since 2014.

    Having trouble getting licensed in the US due to very poor vision. I think he was supposed to have laser eye surgery this yr, but I havent read anything saying he'd done it, it was successful, or that he was getting relicensed.

    I don't think we will see a small heavyweight champ again.

    Ruiz is 6ft 2 and can't see him making the cruiser limit any time soon - even with Sanchez whipping him into shape.
