Has I was watching the title unification bout between David Haye and Enzo Maccarinelli it occurred to me that the the cruiser weights (under 199lbs) of today are physically larger than the Heavyweights from boxing's glory days.
Haye weighed in at 198lbs while Maccarinelli weighed in at 199lbs the day before the fight. What you have to realize is that fighter regularly cut 10 to 15 pounds to make weight and then rehydrate for the fight. When David Haye fought at heavyweight a couple bouts back he stepped on the scale at a lean 217lbs.
Here is the Haye VS Maccarinelli fight from March 8th in England. I really enjoy the British fans here. They make an average fight seem far more exciting by virtue of their energy
Here we have a 1969 heavyweight title fight between Joe Frazier and Jerry Quarry. Joe Frazier weighed in at 203 lbs while Quarry weighed 198lbs.
