    Well if a guy is fighting fit at 230 then he is pretty much a bona fide Heavyweight.
    However a guy weighing in at round 215-225 (or just looks like they could loose a few founds) could get down to 15 stone, if they approached weight making like the smaller weight fighters do...?

    Anyway, here's a list of some of the names (90's onwards) that could mix in good company of smaller Heavyweights, Cruiserweights & Lightheavyweights alike:

    John Ruiz
    Vassiliy Jirov
    Ruslan Chagaev
    Tomasz Adamek
    Evander Holyfield
    Orlin Norris
    David Haye
    Eddie Chambers
    Herbie Hide
    Bert Cooper
    Sultan Ibragimov
    Jean Marc Mormeck
    Roy Jones Jnr
    Steve Cunningham
    Beibut Shumenov
    Chris Eubank
    Antonio Tarver
    Michael Moorer

    Denis Boytsov
    Chris Byrd
    James Toney
    Timur Ibragimov


    All these guys could fight at a 210lbs Limit... There's obviously LOADS more from Heavyweight right down to Supermiddlewight (Andre Ward??).

    I have not read most of this thread but would just like to say that a super HW division would totaly devalue boxing golden egg ie the HW title for ever.

    Or the likes of Chris Arreola could one day wake up and realise that they should actually try and get into some sort of fighting condition.

    There isn't really a heavyweight out there who is conditioned enough to be able to use the full size of the ring at a good constant pace for anywhere near 12 rounds. Maybe David Haye is an exception, as he did this against Valuev, but he didn't throw many punches.

    Guys can make a good enough living by beating up other out of shape guys, and then losing a title shot against a Klitschko, before beating another bum and completing the full cycle again.
