Was the winner of each election the more heavyweight or lightweight candidate?

Is the assumption here that the more experienced candidate is the more HW candidate? Because even in '80,  Reagan was more of a HW than Carter, and Clinton was at least as HW as his two opponents.

That's political experience. You can be politically experienced and not really be a heavyweight. Dennis Kucinich would have been a more experienced candidate than Bush II, but I'm not sure he's more of a heavyweight. In terms of political skills and charisma, Reagan & Clinton (especially by '96) were heavyweights, and Carter & Bush I were lightweights.
