Is Heavyweight Champ a board that will Suicide?

If the PCB set has a large black Hitachi main 68000 CPU, then yes it will suicide. There is a good picture of this style CPU on this page:

I did some internet hunting for you and it appears this game will not suicide. Heavy Weight Champ is not on the list of suicide chips here:

It looks like there are no unencrypted ROMS available either. Suicided sega boards are fixed with an order through SEGA resurrection (unless you have an EPROM burner and an unprotected file set). Anyhow, he doesn't list the game either.

Hope this helps, be sure to get a look at the PCB before you buy. I've never seen a good picture of the machine, so I'll be bookmarking this thread. The best picture of a realy Heavy Weight Champ board indicates it does not have a suicide CPU:
