    Can you think of examples where a taller fighter, maybe a puncher too, that has come off worse against a smaller pressure fighter.?
    Obviously we have Ali v Frazier 1 and I'll chuck in Nunn v Toney, but a lot of the time it's the taller guy that wins.

    George, what a frigging list!
    I've been googling most of those since I got up. Lol.
    And couldn't have picked better.
    Nice one mate.

    That wasn’t even decisive with the cheating, well up until Tszyu had enough. It was a disgusting affair and under fair circumstances Tszyu would’ve crushed Thiccky Hatton.
