    What is the possibility of a guy of 5ft 9in beating a guy of 6ft 3in in a boxing match?

    What about in a street fight? :bbb

    Tua was 5'10 and beat/KO'd multiple guys 6'3 and over... I'm sure there are many more examples.

    Weight is generally more important than height.

    Basketball players for example have longer necks which equals to a weaker chin.
    Their heart has to pump blood higher leading to less stamina.
    They have more bones in their body compared to their muscles (if they have an equal weight)
    Longer nerves leads to slower reaction.

    lol, sorry, dumb post..
    most would say 5'10, but have heard of people claiming him to be as small as 5'9. but he was def not the 5'11 an a half that his stats said.

    Is this the logic you use when getting into a street fight with a man larger than yourself.

    For the record I'm 6'3 220lbs and I don't recall losing to a man smaller than me then again I've only sparred againsts pros smaller than me and I did get my ass handed to me on some occasions but for the most part I held my own.

    How is it a dumb post? A random guy isn't going to have the power of a David Tua or Mike Tyson, are they? And if a big guy of 6'3 against a guy of similar build to Canelo, it's gotta favour the big guy.

    Btw, Canelo is about 5'9 I believe.
