Heaviest combined weight?

[Verdi]

Eddie Hall is promoting his fight Vs Thor as the 'heaviest fight in history'.

I'm just trying to find out what the heaviest combined weight in any fight actually has been. So far Dustin Nichols (400lbs) Vs Antonio Johnson (380lbs) for a combined weight of 780lbs is the highest I've come across.

Can anyone think of another?

[Dioufy]

Valuev vs McCline is what I can recall - that’s gotta be 600lbs plus?

Surely a Butterbean fight must be up there? Loads of fights over 650 lbs

His last fight was 677lbs

A few heavy ones I could find:
Butterbean/Siciliano - 731 lbs
Welliver/Brown - 705.5

I'm seeing reports of the Hall/Thor's weights of anywhere up to 786 but some more recent reports (since they've been training for this fight) have them a lot lower. I wouldn't be surprised if come weigh in they're combined weight is lower than Nichols/Johnson.

Siciliano Butterbean is insane weight. This def the winner. With the ref there could be a ton of human in the ring

conrad lam had so much potential for this

Naaa...
Saw him lose to Hemi Ahio, it wasn't pretty or easy to watch. He walked right past us on the way out, face like glaziers putty

I remember seeing Danny Watts v Stephen Cranston, both huge blokes

[Floydendizer]

American heavy turned pro a couple of years back called Wade Bruins weighed 550 pounds on his debut which he lost on points after 4 rounds , don’t know how they weighed him ?

[THEBUTCH]

I think at the time Lennox Lewis v Michael Grant was the heaviest combined weight for a world title fight.

You're right Coco, Watts and Cranston were gigantic fellas !
Watts boxed for the Lynn and Cranston boxed for Fisher as amateurs. I remember Harry Senior bombing Cranston out of the ABA's in the SE divs many moons ago

Yeh wasn’t that built as Two Big.

500lb

[THEBUTCH]

That's right. Grant was seen as a serious threat to Lewis' reign. Of course Lennox blasted him out within 2 rounds.

Disgraceful name drop, but I bumped into Emmanuel Steward in our hotel prior to the fight and although he was confident of victory he still added "but, you never know". Have to say Steward was really friendly and happy to spare time talking boxing

No disgrace, mate-very cool anecdote.

[jameswilson]

I’d imagine it would be between takin Galahad and Josh Warrington.

Both are from Yorkshire so both would walk heavy.

I worked on the Butterbean vs Shane Woollas show at wembley. At the time it was the heavyweight pro fight in the UK, still is I think they were a combined weight of 630lbs. The whole ring shook

Jarrell Miller Vs Ariel Bracamonte this weekend is 647 lbs

[margaret thatcher]

it's a shame butterbean and big baby's careers didn't line up, we'd have nearly 800 pounds of gloriousness

At the time butterbean vs Shane Woolas had a combined weight of 630lbs that was British at the time I believe

Bracamonte last fought in February and has weighed in 100 lbs heavier. He must have just been eating non-stop since then. Surely must be a typo on boxrec...

Indeed he was I was scanning quickly on my phone and somehow managed to see his opponent’s weight as his own…

I think Gabe Brown once put on or lost either 50 or 100lvs between two fights. Turned out it was because at one of the weigh ins there was an upper limit on the scales.

[Gnome]

Chauncy Welliver v Marcellus Brown was 700lb in the ring right there.

Maxey could've come in 30 lbs heavier based on his other fights aswell. That is insane.
