When was the last HW title challenger at 205 or below?

Honest question. Think its been a real long time but not sure. The further back it goes, though, the more it blows up the theory that the Cruiserweight division is superfluous, that size doesn't matter in the HW division, and that the old timers could beat the modern SHW.

 

Thanks, just looked him up though and he was 209.5. Also, are you a mod? Have you noticed the extreme racism from Monotony on one of the other top threads? The most blatant banworthy stuff I've ever personally seen.

 

This is the right answer, I think. Jones was 193(!). Impressive and probably underrated achievement by Jones (I haven't seen the bout since it was live, although I remember thinking for once Ruiz, typically the beneficiary of biased scores, was on the losing end of them in that one).

Apart from Jones Ruiz, when was the last HW title challenger below 205?

 

BE, your posts range from 1. Stupid to 2. Insightful to 3. Ironic and funny, with the exact pinpoint of humor at times hard to track. Kinda like Family Guy.

I'll classify this post in category 3.

Glad we have you around, even though I'm equally likely to disagree with you as to agree with you (as to laugh at you):good

 

Blizzy, we've agreed on some Wilder threads in the past. But Monotony's racism is too extreme. If I saw someone dare to question Ali, Louis, or Lewis's accomplishments on the basis of their race the way he questioned the K's, Marciano's, and Fury's, I'd call them out even more so.
