I'm currently hovering in the 175 range, wear 32s comfortably, and do heavy weight training at least 4 days a week and understand I'm overweight.
Meh, I don't know about that. Maybe I'm just in denial, but I think it's incorrect to say that just because someone is 6' 185lbs they are at a higher risk of health issues than someone that is 6' 170lbs. What if that person with a 25.1 BMI has a resting heart rate of 59, max heart rate of 193, can run a sub 7-minute mile and bench press 1.5x bodyweight?

Being overweight increases all cause mortality. That's a fact, you can caveat it any way you want, but being overweight is worse than not being overweight.

They are in the minority of people their height/weight.
I'd also say they need to improve their bench. 275 at 185 is weak.

Yeah, sure. And what if the guy happens to be a professional football player? Listen- you're talking about 1% of the population. You really think the average American is running 6 minute miles and benching 1.5 of their body weight?
Stop it. The average 6' and 185 person is overweight.
