        I think it's fair, there are advantages and disadvantages to those sizes, Both Bryd (208) and VK (250)show how both can be effective or just a burden. Bryd will allways have the speed and stamina over the bigger guys, while the big guys, will have the power, it makes for very good fights. I aways liked watching Holyfield beat up bigger fighters, same with bryd.
        Byrd, not Bryd.

            "The heavy guy will always have the bigger punch that one punch ko."

            Actually that couldn't be further from the truth. The best and hardest punches have all been below 230 lbs. Earnie Shavers weighed 210-220. Same with Foreman. Dempsey and Marciano were both under 200 and Louis was about 208 at his best.

            Don't forget that 270 lb Carnera was a terrible puncher and McCline is not a KO guy either.

              you don't know who bryd is? He is the heavyweight champion of the world. He has been in with Both Klits, Ike, McCline, Golota, Hard hitting tua. Everyone, is still champ. I can't think of too many fighters in the Div smaller them him.
