Why does size matter?

None of that matters. The fight could be scheduled for 200 rounds and Fitz would never get out the first.

They could wear pillows for gloves and Fitz would never get out the first.

It could be the hottest day in history and Fitz would never get out the first.

 

lmao

 

Watch Fitzsimmons vs Corbett and Lewis vs Holyfield then get back to me.

 

Put Lewis in there with a marathon runner and helium filled -1 oz gloves and a 350 round limit.

Lennox will gas around 73 and hit the canvas after 120.

 

So if Wlad had fought Toney and Holyfield instead of Peter and Ibragimov in the mid 2000s that would have been more relevant to his overall career standing? Of course it wouldn't. Defences are determined, and always have been, by ranking. They are not determined by what one person personally think of the fighters they beat to get that ranking.

Having your nose split in half is a pretty big whoop actually. Can you name any other fighters that suffered a similar injury? Cuts happen in boxing.

Was Demspey draining himself down to 180 then rehydrating up to 200? If not then it's an irrelevant point.

 

Point is, he obviously felt more effective at 185 than at 200, and since that was where the majority of his best performances took place it's reasonable to assume that that was in fact the case.

 

You don't half talk out of your ass!!

Dempsey didn't fight at 200lb in his prime because that wasn't the weight at which he performed at his optimum....

 

I disagree with it in its entirety.

I've watched Fitzsimmons fight and there is nothing available on film which would give Lewis cause for concern.

Holy field was a vastly superior boxer to Fitz.

 

It's not a stretch at all. What you have suggested is the stretch.

 

But where do I put my pots and pans? Each has its proper place, so when does a pan become a pot?
