    But it’s all relative to the weight of the guy at the time isn’t it? Do you seriously think Tua wore the same pants at 201lb as he did at 253?

    How much was Norris weighing when you met him? 187 or 246?

    I imagine Tua and Norris were comparable when they both weighed 201, 226, 246 because they were of comparable height and reach.

    Honestly, Orlin and David couldn't have been much farther apart. Totally different athletes.

    It’s the same physical comparison as say Ali and ken Norton. Different athletes but the same ballpark.

    Tua and Norris are as alike physically as any other two fighters of the same height and weight.

    The first fighter I thought of on this subject was Oscar Bonavena. They were both the same height, both trained by Charley Goldman, both awkward. However, Oscar did weigh about 205 in his prime. maybe a bit heavier than what you're looking for.
