so, same amount of muscle on both guys, but short guy is better.  see, that's why weight clsases makes no sense.

First, were dealing with a hypothetical...we are assuming at best.

Second, weight classes make all the sense in the world as it keeps the playing field level, so you dont have a guy that is 5'3/ 230 and a guy thats 6'0/ 270 in which case....the bigger man almost always wins...and the very reasoning we instilled the 202 class

In your senario....a guy 5'11 at 200 is probably underdeveloped, which is why I said the shorter guy would win...with few exceptions...99% of the 202 guys are about the same height/ structure

Haney was about 240, Yates was mostly after Labrada
tim, your the man but its close,91 mr o yates and labrada,92,93,94,95,labrada done,so 2 mro's they didn't do together.and haney was reported as high as 252/257 i believe.
