Caballero's size at this weight has much the same effect of Valuev at heavy. It's a huge natural advantage, I'm not saying he's unbeatable, far from. It will just take someone with exceptional skill, which Castillo is not.
Of course you weren't meaning to say otherwise, but Cabalerro's natural size advantage is nowhere near that of Valuevs seeing as he actually makes the same weight as his opponent, not 80 lbs more. It's really amazing that he can make 122, and perhaps he gives up some strength to do so .. But it will still take someone with much more p4p ability to beat him than is the case with Valuev.
Not equal, just the same effect. The reach is a huge obstacle to overcome when that person with reach knows how to box. The crazy thing is that Valuev outweighs some of his opponents by the same amount that Caballero weighs total
example

Valuev 333
Etienne 217
116 pound difference!! Almost a whole Caballero difference
