what do you guys think is a good weight for a true heavyweight, well i mean the minimum, i think it would have to be around 215, i mean some of the hardest punchers were at or about his weight including prime tyson, foreman and a bit younger tua

best minimum weight for a true heavy?

215 is correct. cause when u get lower your punch power goes down and if u get higher u move slower and throw your hands slower.

Tell that to Rocky Marciano, he was a 185-190 pound heavyweight, one of the most powerful punchers ever

I would say it depends on your style of fighting and what you are good at...at 190 it's going to be hard to fight 6'5 250 [Lewis] guys if you are all power ...Joe Louis did it but he was great over all had the power of a tyson with chin,heart and speed just a over all great boxer ....Roy Jones was around that size but he has amazing speed ...how tall are you also ?

Right now:

6'3 225 or 230 would be the minnimum size you need to be successful against all the other giants.
