He weighed around that much when he KOed 300 pound Ed Dunkorst in the first round. He probably also weighed around this much when he KOed 7 men who all weighed 200+ pounds in 10 rounds, the largest of whom was 6’7” 240 pounds and got KOed in the first round.
Could you argue the same thing for Stanley Ketchel and what he did to Jack Johnson?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
