    Ali did that. You should see what Joe Frazier did when he timed it.

    Jeesh. I have a friend who's 6' and fights at 132. He doesn't really do the lean back though.

    3) I would assume so at least a decent amount of the time. I know Andre Ward whose from my city won the gold medal a few years back at 178lbs. In the pros he fights at SMW (168lbs). However part of the reason could have been his olympic team had a very good 165 lber.

    I think Dirrell was at 165 in 2004. Andre's speed and mobility helped him at 178 anyway.
