Not sure who was the heaviest, but this guy must have been up there
Ed Dunkhorst was said to have been one of the heaviest boxers ever, weighing in the neighborhood of 400 pounds. Some report he sometimes came in at 500 pounds.

From Wikipedia:
Eric Scott "Butterbean" Esch stands 5 ft 11 in (180cm) tall and weighs 398 pounds.
Hard to tell the heaviest boxer without notoriety...

At 323 lbs I think Valuev is the heaviest. Blogbaba as seen a couple guys push the three hundred pound mark, but none heavier than Valuev with a title. No clue who the biggest to ever step into the ring was.
Eric Esch is over 400 lbs, so he's definately up there with the heaviest.

Butterbean was a monster but the guy is more of a circus freak than professional athlete! He wins cause it's so difficult to get through the 10 layers of fat in his chin!

I know what you are talking about. I don't think that it's a rumor, though. According to records, there has been a heavyweight amateur who weighed at exactly 450 pounds. That's not the shocker,though. It was said that he stood at around 7'8". They never allowed him to enter professional boxing because of his physical anomaly. I forgot his name, though. This was in the year 1929.
