    It's a disgrace this fight hasn't been made yet. What's 170 lbs between men?

    Having a weight or size advantage is only an advantage if you know how to use it. What good is having a reach advantage if you don't jab or control the distance, what good is having a height advantage of you lean in and don't fight tall, what good is having a weight advantage if you don't lay on your opponent when you're on the inside. In Basketball and Football there's a saying that states you can't teach size, but you sure as hell can use, especially if done properly.
