Could we have another sub-190 pound heavyweight champion of the world ?
Perhaps someone who is short and is very muscular and has great power at that weight, fighting a swarming/peekaboo style who walks around at like 210+ ?
Marciano would be outweighed by 70 lbs. against Fury or Joyce.
And 100 lbs. against Big Baby Miller.
It's like a man vs. a child.
I don't think much of that is lean muscle though.
A 6'9" skeleton probably weighs around 40 pounds more than a 5'10" skeleton, probably more like 50 due to Fury's long arms.
His organs will be proportionally bigger and heavier too.
He also isn't as lean as Marciano.
I doubt it, Usyk walks around at about 215-220 and he's dwarved by Joshua etc.
Under 190, there are MW who walk around 185-190 now so little chance of a HW being able to do it. Would love to see another Rocky Marciano/Dempsey but this is a different age.

Roy Jones was 193 pounds against John Ruiz (it is the most near to 190 in modern era)
Yes but I was talking about under-190, RJJ was 199 in the ring I believe though

Considering most HWs now weigh AT LEAST 220 pounds you are talking about - again at the very least - a 30 pound difference. That's immense. When you factor in Joshua weighed in at 250 pounds vs. Klitschko ... then we're talking about a difference of 70 pounds. That's why fighters around 180 pounds stick to cruiserweight as suggested by another poster above. That level of weight difference is borderline murderous.
