    Question about the heavyweight division.

    The heavyweights are just getting bigger and bigger. Through the ages. Do you think there will be a size where if you are bigger you are unable to box and move fast enough?

    Like Imagine a boxer was 7’4 and was 356, would he be able to fight or his size will prevent him. Look at Valuev he is quite slow, I am thinking due to his size.

      I noticed they are already getting bigger and most are slow. Most heavyweights in the future are just going to clinch and try to win a decision that way or by ko. It will be rare to see a heavyweight in shape who is fleet footed who can move around the ring and box on his toes

        They're definitely getting bigger and bigger as the years go by.

        I can't envision a future where heavyweights are all on par with Valuev in terms of size and mass, but if it ever did occur, there's no doubt in my mind it would hinder their mobility and work rates.
