Should opponents below 215 lbs count on a heavyweight's record?

[Joeyzagz]

Simple question.

[Kevin Malone]

yes..................

Why 215?

[Joeyzagz]

LMAO

Why 215?

Because 215 is a magical number I created in my head to exclude Joe Louis from any and all heavyweight discussions.

Louis beat much bigger men than 215...would you class those as catchweight?

Ali was the top American in the 60's, this is the top American of the 2000's:

Boxing may be the only sport where American athletes are getting worse, not better.

They should definitely count. By the same token I think we should have one more weight division for lets say 230 and up. It would force heavyweights to get in better shape, which makes better fights. Or move their sloppy ass to the fat boy division. every once and a while have a heavyweright champ face the super heavyweight champ.

Heavyweight is always the top division.

So are you saying that 200-250 should be called Junior-Heavyweight? With Heavyweight being a bunch of overweight fat guys?

Let me guess. Excluding Louis, Marciano, Frazier, Dempsey and Holyfield from any and all top 10 ATG HW discussions, so Lennox can be secured a spot?
