Maybe the heavyweight division was so great to watch 'cause those guys were much lighter and faster than modern heavyweights. Ali fought at around 210 lbs ... Floyd Patterson was usually under 200 and Rocky Marciano 185 ... Klitschko usually weighed in at 250 plus pounds. That's not a boxer, it's a goddam cement truck. You can't float like a butterfly at that weight.
