Who do you think are some of the largest fighters at this weight? because of cutting weight or other reasons.
Id have to say...

Chuck Liddell - a HW in actuality, I think he cuts the most weight out of everybody
Tito Ortiz - pretty close second to Chuck
Sokodjou - just looks big
H. Alexander - looks like he cuts a lot but he stil stinks.

[Smith]

Griffin and Jackson cut a good amount. They bulked up a lot waiting for their fight. Randy cut a significant amount when he fought at LHW. Tito made LHW because he has no legs and just an upperbody. Arona is definitely up there too.

Oh yeah, forgot about Randy, but I dont consider him a pure LHW fighter.

i heard griffen gets really fat up to 250 inbetween fights sitting on the couch and hitting hte Drvie THroughs

Also, good point about the legs. Guys like Barnett, Crocop, Rizzo are true heavies cause they have those meaty legs, which makes it very tough to cut to 205.

[conky149er]

id say alllistair overeem if the biggest at 205

[adm2rcar]

Stephan Bonnar looks like he cuts quite a bit...

[xRAMx]

did we all forget about brandon vera

[adm2rcar]

Griffin and Liddell seem to cut a lot of weight. One that no one mentioned would have to be Jason Lambert, hes short and stocky but it looks like he cuts quite a bit as well because I know he fought at HW. Also James Irvin wasn't mentioned.

Lambert also still looks to me like he has some water weight he could cut off as well, but i never see him at 185 in the future

[WandyCroCop]

actually Wanderlei looks really big since he's only 5' 11" he is really strong. Every picture you see of him he has his vaines popping out and it makes him look like my grandpa. But he is really strong.

[crocopfan1]

irvin because he was a hw

[treviddick]

See this is the main problem with the lack of HW's. Nowadays a true heavyweight is near 250 prob more and guys below this are cutting down.
Before cutting Chuck, Tito, Page, Irvin, Randy, Vera, Bonnar, Griffin all weigh near 230

Man, randy is up to at least 240, which gives people a huge amount of respect for him. Cutting that much cannot be easy.

im not sure but i think i might beg the differ conkerreno!

i remember watching all access or countdown to shogun vs griffin... something spotlighting griffin. i remeber forrest saying that he doesnt like watching tv. all he cares about is training. but i dont know...

its probably eaasier to say something like that to try to keep a mental edge on ur opponets so who knows he looked fuckn huge on TUF though

[allencm]

did we all forget about brandon vera

Vera is overrated and did not look strong or fit at hw and still does not as lhw. He is like 6foot 3 which is pretty tall but bonner is 6 foot 4 and thicker
