Imagine the TS' reaction if Ivan was in there for a grouphug? :scaredas: Froch and Calderon only compete thirteen divisions apart and there's not even five stone between them! Why such a size difference? :?
Floyd, Pac, Cotto etc are bad men but are midgets compared to your average man. I stood next to Mosley in Vegas and on size alone I felt a rush that I would physically dominate him Tommy Hearns is massive though! He has a huge size advantage over alot of welterweights.
The average man isn't that tall, really. Maybe in the UK, and for the most part here in the US (although it's a bit bigger a melting pot here, with a huge Mexican influx - so we see more of the smaller folk than you do) but to be precise you must take into account all the South American and Asian countries that make up a significant bulk of the world population where full grown males rarely ever get above five foot and a half. Even Africa despite the "long-limbed & athletic" stereotypes perceived by some has a large number of relative diminutives with higher dispersion depending on the area. If you truly averaged it out on the grand scale, "normal" height is probably nowhere near the six foot that is often accepted in European/Western civilization. And that's just males; there are more women in the world. The shortest basketball players (point guards of like 5'11" and such) are still freakishly tall compared to the true average height person.
I've met Cotto. He's ****ing tiny. His hands are tiny, I'd say mine are bigger and I have girls hands. His big fat mate was there too, he's big and fat.
