    Default Size Matters 95% of the Time in Boxing

    Rocky Marciano could NEVER beat Wlad.

    David Tua could NEVER beat Lennox.

    Joe Frazier could NEVER beat ForemaN.

    ETC.....


    ALL BECAUSE OF SIZE.

    FACT.

    Hard to argue with that if the skills are close. A good big man beats a good small man 95% of the time. It's 5% that keeps us on the edges of our seats and coming back.

    Size does not matter if the skill, experience and heart of the smaller fighter is better and stronger.

    Frazier v Foreman was more about style of boxing than size.

    Tyson smashes Wlad, Bowe or beats Vitali with certainty.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Great skill can overcome size. SRR overcame Lamotta. Floyd overcomes size is pretty much every fight.

    Lamotta was limited to SRR.

    Of course it does. That's why we have weight classes.

    Heavyweights are the oddity because there is no upper limit. Honestly there is reasonable logic that the 230+ mob should be in a class of their own.

    Who has Floyd been much smaller then. Only one I can think of is Alvarez. Hes bigger then Pac and Not much between him and Maidana, Guerrero, Cotto, Ortiz, Mosely, Marquez, Hatton etc. I dont get this myth that Floyds been stepping out of his comfrot zone to face giants. If that was the case why the heck would Floyd Pac have been at 147?

    I agree with most of this Brock but then when I add a prime mike tyson to the list the theory falls apart.

    No one would walk through oliver Mccall or vitali but Tyson has the potential to do anything.

    ferocious animal Mike Tyson could beat anybody in his very rare case he is one of the five percent who will break the pattern that I mentioned above. 95 percent of smaller files will not beat larger
