    But I just read in Joe Louis' book where he said he purposely lost weight to come in under 200 pounds so that no one could say he beat up on a small man.

    Yup. Of course regardless of the exact agreement, Conn gave up a lot of weight, looked good, but Joe kept coming, Conn made a strategic mistake and Bad Joe came down on him like the Wrath of God.

    It's really funny. If you were fighting one of today's heavies the LAST thing you want is incentive for one of those guys to come in fit, right? I mean you'd want an assurance Arreola (for example) would come in over 250!
