states he’s 218 here. It could be an underestimation as well since the lighter the weight was considered better back in the day. Let’s just take this as accurate though.
here we have Lennox vs Holyfield.

holyfield is 215 lbs.
for all intents and purposes on tape Holyfield and Louis are similar in size. I personally see Louis as more of a heavyweight because he is heavy legged - where as holy is slim legged with a built up body from peds - but as far as square footage goes they probably seem similar in size side by side.
key point here:
louis still doesn’t look fat or blown up. Its clearly obvious he could have easily been 230 lbs if he wanted. He didn’t though because that would have been ******.
