Ring-size is very important.
The fighter with star power often dictates in the negotiations what size ring they'll fight in.
Ray Leonard particularly wanted the 25 foot ring and 12 rds too instead of 15 because he knew he was going to be using up a lot of ring that night, and that he couldn't keep up the pace for 15.
A 20 ft ring and 15 rds, ray wouldn't have seen the final bell.

Dancers, boxers, they want a big ring.
Aggressive types, pressure-fighters, they want a little ring.

I think Roy Jones would've beat Hopkins the 1st fight no matter what size ring they fought in.
