          Byrd had a heavyweight title both times they fought. What was Wladimir supposed to do, turn down a title shot until a bigger champion came along?

            because heavyweights are usually packing on fat when there bigger then there opponent. While the lower weights tend to be packing more muscle.

              Ali had a lheight and long reach advantage over many of his opponents, such as Bonaventa and Frazier.

              Foreman was much taller than Frazier. Lewis towered over Tyson.

                  the first one you should have said they're as in "they are"

                  the second should have been their.

                  good luck in life.
