To fight in the Heavys he will have to be around 230 that is alot of weight and the body changers when you add 15 to 20 lbs.
You don't have to go up in weight to compete against the superheavys. Look what the 200 pounders like Dempsey and Louis did to a bunch a giants. Dempsey destroyed Willard who was 6'6 and 245lbs. Louis destroyed Buddy Baer who was 6'6 1/2 and 240lbs of all muscle, Primo Carnera who was 6'5 and 260lbs of all muscle, Abe Simon who was 6'4 and 255lbs. Sometimes being bigger is a disadvantage.
