List of Fighters That Get Stronger As They Go Up In Weight

[BoxingGenius27]

riiiight...Anyways taller people have a better chance because hence they're taller therefor are better suited in carrying the weight. But, more importantly than being taller is the body structure.

Anyways, you got McClarnin, Langford, Fitzsimmons, Moore, etc etc of plenty examples.

So now what?

Keep in mind, Moore had over 20 losses and fought for over 30 years; thus allowing his body plenty of time to grow.... But yes, he did go up substantially in weight. I'm not sure what type of speed or punch output he had though... I remember him being a fairly slow as a heavyweight....

I gave you two with McClarnin(being the perfect example) and Langford *sigh*

Yea this thread doesn't have an agenda.

Can you provide stats on the fighters you mentioned KO % and output?

David haye got stronger didnt he? He had no chin when he was weight drained, getting stopped by Carl Thompson.

I think Ray leonard carried his speed/power as he went up in weight... I think he went up like 4 or 5 weight classes....

Yes. David Haye went up one weight class from Cruiserweight to Heavy and he did indeed carry his power. He KO'd a few guys:P

Okay, you had me questioning myself there. I was about to retire if people really thought Donaire doesn't have 1 punch KO power.
