    Vicente Rondon

    Walked around at 195 lbs. in 1972.

    He could just barely get down to 182 lbs. with his 6' 3" frame.

    To make 175 lbs. was 'cruel to his body'.

    That is why he moved up to Heavyweight in 1972 at {Age; 34}

    Vicente Rondon >

    "You see Max, you are a Moron. I had to sit in a Sauna for a whole day to lose
    7 lbs. just to get down to Light-Heavyweight.

    "I was really a 185 lb. fighter. But back in 1972, there was no Cruiserweight Division.
    I had to give up 20 lbs. to fight Heavyweights like Ron Lyle and Earnie Shavers."

    "Let me see you get in the Ring with those '2' monsters, while giving up 20 lbs., and
    live to talk about it."
