[QUOTE="FBallFan123, post: 2832676, member: 35697"] Deontay Wilder just got a reported $28 million guaranteed. Think he’d be satisfied fighting smaller guys for less money? Look at a boxer like Evander Holyfield: he was a cruiserweight champion and nobody even talks about what he did at that weight. He was often a lot smaller in many of his big heavyweight fights: Buster Douglas, George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Riddick Bowe, Lennox Lewis. Mike Tyson was one guy sorta similarly sized to Holyfield. Some of the other heavyweights who were similarly sized had moved up in weight just like he did... Michael Moorer was light heavyweight champion. John Ruiz began his career at cruiserweight. Chris Byrd fought in the Olympics as middleweight. James Toney was a middleweight champion before he started climbing divisions (collecting titles at super middleweight and cruiserweight). Point being...guys go where the money is. [/QUOTE]
