valuev me thinks i cant remember a bigger heavyweight - for a big guy he doesn't have great KO power does he?

would be interesting to see what the average size of heavyweights is these days compared to 10, 20, 30 or 40 yrs ago.

lol i think they were smaller back then because they didnt fight 1-2 stones heavier on fight night than they did on the weight-in. nowadays fighters starve themselves to make weight.

why is fraziers short ass on the list???? and this is a dumb thread cause the answer is obvious valuev was the biggest champ of all time

Heavyweights don't have to starve to make weight.
