At that time anything over 175 was heavyweight there was not cruiser weight class.
It was not hard for him to weigh more than that.
He was 191 cm tall. A heavyweight only needs to weight 90 kg to pass as a heavyweight which is simple for anyone that tall.
He weighed in at around 210 to 215 pounds in his younger days. That weight combined with his speed equals Champion.
How is Yao Ming tall?
He was a legitimate heaveyweight
Idk Maybe because he's big?
How was he that heavy???
