Most of the harm is actually caused by the repeated blows sustained, not the big ones that get the KO (most don't even end with anyone being knocked out but that's not really important).

For similar reasons, that's why it's actually linemen in American football that have higher rates of CTE when they aren't the ones getting the big hits leading to concussions.

This is already included in the CDC definition of a healthy weight too. There's a BMI range for healthy, which at average height (5'9") encompasses 44 pounds. That seems like plenty of wiggle room to account for realistic weights for the vast majority of people at a height.
