Size is only a benefit to a fighter if you can use it to your advantage....Diego Corrales (r.i.p), very tall but never learned to fight on the outside like he should have and therefore his height was not a benefit to him.


The same thing with strength and speed and everything else.....if you can't use it to your advantage then it doesn't matter.

Here's a Teddy Atlas-ism
"It's like if a guy has a Ferrari and he only drives it 30 miles per hour"

Doesn't really matter what you have skill wise but how you use it that is the main point
Exactly, and Marciano had neither size nor skill
