good post
similar times 70's and the 90's. exciting times for heavyweight boxing . mainly because of the conditioning .. for the majority of heavyweights were in true boxing condition back then ,,the fighters that were 6’4 - 6’5 weighed in and around 220's . frank bruno always came in correct for his matches, a well conditioned athlete ..ali ,frazier,norton,foreman,holmes, lewis, bowe,holyfield ,cooper,moorer,morrison , tua, mercer , on and on all around the mid 220's if not lighter at their best . that conditioning, it shows up on film which makes for an entertaining match.. my belief is that a fighter has an obligation to the paying fight fan, to be at his best weight for each match . you don't see that so much in todays heavyweights . guys like brock should weight in at about 218 tops. 240 is a joke. go across the board.. sam peter 224 if he was in true condition.. the sport would be much better for it.
