    Need some context here. Its listed at places like Boxrec that Louis came in at 199.5 because of some oral agreement in the first Conn fight but in actual fact Louis came in at 204 and Conn at 169. Sure they listed it as 174.5 vs 199 but it never happened that way.

    I read that Joe was very superstitious and always aimed to come under 200lb at his peak. When he was older he could not do it but I am sure at 206ish he battered a 6 ft 6inch heavyweight (Buddy Baer?) and people wondered what he would have done if he stayed over 200lb at his peak!
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Weight loss at heavyweight can be detrimental look what happened to Roy Jones after winning the heavyweight championship and then going back to light heavyweight.
