But...MODERN TRAINING METHODS?? NUTRITION???? Oh.

By the way whatever Fergus did to get banned the first time, can we just assume he'll do it again and put us all out of our misery?

George Foreman’s average weight from the start of his career until the end of 1973 was 217lbs. During the same time period, the average weight of his opponents was 206lbs.

Coincidentally, when ‘Iron’ Mike was at his destructive best (prior to his defeat to ‘Buster’ Douglas) for the first 37 bouts of his career, his opponents typically weighed 212lbs (excl. four anomalous fighters).

Could it be argued that many of the fighters that were destroyed by George Foreman and Mike Tyson during their early and arguably most destructive periods of their careers could be considered as the physical equivalent of rehydrated cruiserweights that are competing today, based on a comparison of height and weight?

George & Mike were extremely powerful fighters, their weight and their rivals weight were not important, not at all....
