those are HWs from a past era, athletes usually get bigger.No...he wasn't....he weighed what ali weighed...what frazier weighed...what foreman weighed in his prime...so no, he wasnt small sized...he was a bit short, but not size wise.
Wow, black really is slimming.

What an absolute beast. The guy has ragdolled fighters like Bigfoot, Barnett, and Gus and is the same height as a lightweight. Crazy.
its crazy how many ppl on sherdog cant grasp this
Yes.
Tyson was basically a LHW by MMA standards.
5'11 215-220
He was substantially more muscular than D.C. and fought at a lower body fat percentage (in his prime for sure and probably in the later years as well), but he would have had an EASY cut to 205.... he wasn't cutting any weight so 218 or so was as big as he got in his prime in fight shape.
I believe boxing had a cruiserweight as well as light heavyweight where he could have competed if he wanted, but why bother when he was demolishing HWs?
