"In fact, a handful of NCAA heavyweight titlists weighed in at more than 300 pounds.
How is this possible, you ask? After all, there's an upper weight limit of 285 pounds for the top weight class. But it hasn't always been so ... as the weight class nicknamed "heavyweight" was once called "unlimited" because there was no top limit until about 30 years ago."
