Not really. Cuz the higher weights are pretty much hitting people just as big as they are. Just like the lower weights are hitting people just as small as they are. The impact is the same. So it pretty much comes down to how often they get hit. The lower weights have way better stamina than the higher weight. So the lower weight fighters get hit a lot more than the higher weight fighters cuz they throw more punches

Explain why there are more knock outs at the higher weights if the size is not as effected just to ask.

Take, for example, the current P4P list. Or even previous P4p standings. Is it a coincidence that there is a strong correlation between age and size? And has always been?

Guys in the lower divisions tend to be 26-31. Guys in the middle to upper divisions tend to be older?

I highly suggest that you ask a boxing insider, if you do not believe.

Yea but i have seen plenty of guys in hire weight fall out of prime earlier then most.

140,

Are you comfortable with the phrase "generally"? Do you understand that there are exceptions to nearly everything?

But we don't operate on the exceptions in life. We operate on the way things NORMALLY work.

Bernard Hopkins is 43. But that is UNUSUAL. The vast majority of boxers aren't that effective at that age. Similarly, Fernando Vargas was probably shot by 26. That is also unusual.

Build a bell curve, mate. We are talking about the 1 or 2 sigma. Not the 3-sigma.

You got some kind of stat your going by? There's knock outs in all weight classes.

Ok tell me what weight classes are you talking about 140 and below and then the rest are high or what just to ask. and VD it seems to me that after 140 and up from there they seem to be more knock outs and a lot more one punch knockouts i could be looking at it wrong though.

yeh exactly

I'm not trying to take anything away from Mayweather's win over ODLH....i was simply using the same analogy that DIOS had used when belittling Hatton.

---

Ono Its an exercise in futility with this One.Hes an obvious Hype man for the Floyd camp!The casual ease with which He diminishes the overall accomplishments of the fighters brought into the conversation is Stunning.
He comes of like a lawyer or an Agent.Its pointless.He most likely wont be around after the fight.

---

I think he fancies himself as some sort of moral leader.

Dios what do you consider a lower weight 140 and below or what just to ask you so i know what you consider a lower weight.

The tune ups weren't to get used to the time zone....they were to establish himself in America.

HERE IS A QUOTE FROM THE HATTON CAMP:

From Seconds Out.

But Hatton believes his son needs the experience of fighting abroad before he takes on the super-talented three-division champion Mayweather.

He said: "Richard needs the experience of training aboard for a fight for the very first time, getting used to that, he needs to have the experience of doing everything the American television and media will expect him to do, getting used to the different time zones, fighting in front of an American crowd - all that.

"And I don't want him to have to deal with all that for the very first time and fight someone like Mayweather as well. Richard isn't a big head, he's got no ego on him, and he will tell you himself that Mayweather is the biggest danger out there for him. That's why he wants to fight Mayweather most of all now he's already beaten Kostya Tszyu, who was the No.1 before Ricky beat him. So, when Richard does fight Mayweather I want Richard comfortable with where he's training and everything else that goes with having a big fight in America."

---

yeh well done pal but you've still entirely missed the point again...

Hatton would need to adjust to the time zone if he was fighting an American based fighter in the US.....oooo like Collazo.

Kostya Tszyu was fighting a UK fighter at 4am UK time.

Please explain to me how this pits Hatton at an advantage?

Maybe i am missing something?

Because if we are talking 140 lower as a lower weight i can name a good amount of guys to become successful at older ages just to ask.
