What would it take for a sub 200 lbs Boxer to succeed at HW?

[4truth]

Be Chris Byrd. (6ft ~190)

if he can beat Vitali, he can beat pretty much all of these current heavies.

so, yeah. Be how he was pretty much.

Byrd, 6’2” 210, fought the Klitschkos 3 times and won about 3 rounds total. Not the best example really unless you think Byrd somehow caused a rotator cuff tear.

Speed of movement, and processing speed of information.

They would need to be operating in a different performance dimension.

It is like the way fighter jets are describe as 5th & 6th generation fighters, they are as powerful as each other 'But the latest generation of fighters, just process information faster, and has more inner technology'.

A fighter who was 190 pounds, had the athleticism of Roy Jones Junior and a combination of his processing speed with lets say Floyd Mayweather's processing speeds 'Would be a dangerous fighter'.

Sweet Pea skills with an extra 50 natural pounds on his frame would probably be a hard to beat guy. Usyk probably ain't THAT far off from being in the realm of that sorta guy despite not looking like it as HW yet realllllllly.

Idk man, he is listed at 6ft and he wasn’t the biggest heavy.

and this current crop of heavies is pretty crap tbh. If it wasn’t for Fury making things interesting, the Hw division would be dead with AJ and Wilder tweeting but never fighting.

Byrd would probably be a champ here.

HW has a minimum. It's impossible to do well at HW under 200 because no one will sanction the fights. Roy was a 193 HW when the minimal was 190.
