Who was the biggest 160 pounder ever?

[jmrf4435]

In terms of size. It seems like a division that could be conducive to boxers making MASSIVE weight cuts to make(like 175 guys dong crazy things to come down).

I think Daniel Jacobs is as big as anyone in recent memory. Pavlik was pretty big( I thought it was part of his reason for decline, cutting to much weight).

Jacobs and Quillen


they're both huge.

Chavez jr. Specially the version that fought Lee.

what about Edison Miranda?

what about Edison Miranda?

he was pretty big..it's just crazy for me to think of a guy like Sugar ray leonard fighting a guy like Jacobs!!It would look weird in the ring

Chavez jr. Specially the version that fought Lee.

That combined with roids. We never ever saw that kind of power from chaves again

Jacobs never stepped on a scale on fight day as far as i know. You can keep pretending he was 180 if it makes you feel better.

You don't know that. He was probably heavier.
