All things being equal, the bigger man wins.
All things not being equal, being bigger could get you the win.

Tim put on a masterful performance Saturday night but its somehow overshadowed by the fact that Rios looked bad ?
He looked bad because Tim put on a masterful performance.
It was the same Rios who had the luxury of using weight and having guys stand in front of him.
Nobody said he was slow or 20+ pounds heavier when he was winning.
Every time the better man wins there was something wrong with the loser.
Even the announcers sell out to that crap weekly.
His weight cheating came back and bit him in the ass because things were not equal skill wise and the speed difference was almost palatable just like in the Manny fight.
Bradley is an elite fighter that put on an elite performance against the exact same fighter that fought Alvarado, Manny and Chaves. He was never a world beater.
