Why do many here complain about fighters height?

Its bull****, everybody loves hearns but they rip williams for fighting at welter. If you can make the weight height is irrelevant.

 

:good

 

I did not realize there were people complaining about tallness. That's ******ed!
Height is definitely an advantage, but I don't see the problem with fighters fighting at whatever weight they want. If you can make a weight, fight at it.

They only place where size really comes into play as a borderline "unfair" fight is at heavyweight where you can have a 195lb guy fighting a 260lb guy. Even then, I guess it just sucks to be the small man...thems the breaks.

 

anyone complaining about fighters heights knows nothing about boxing

 

Well said. :good If you can make the weight then there is no issue.

 

Sanders is 6'4.

 

A few corrections Corey Sanders is 6'4 only 2 inches shorter than Wladimir. Paul Williams is 6'3, Hearns is 6'1 (same reach though)

 

This dude never complained so neither should we.

Most def..if someones complains about height and someone being to tall for a weight class is stupid..doesn't make any sense and don't know anything about boxing..is is so hard to see that people have different frames and carry weight better then others..these guzman fans are delusional

 

Because we dont have same day weigh ins anymore. So fighters are able to manipulate the weight for an advantage.


I doubt Williams would be making welter if we had same day weigh ins.

 

then again neither would some of the much shorter fighters

 

For me, I dont complain about tallness I give a **** about it what I dont like and I think is like cheating is being in a weight class where you can take full advantage gaining 15+ pounds overnight for fight night I hate the way some fighters do it like Clottey, Margarito, Funeka, Baldomir, etc.. Its ****ing cheating in my eyes even if they go "playing by the rules" for me boxing is about skills, boxing and how well you can fight but whith these rules of today is making boxing a contest of who can cut more weight and be able to rehydrate for fight night then these *******s come fight night with a huge advantage over 10 pounds on the opponent thats cheating for me those fighters are not in the boxing sport its ridiculous how a fighter can take huge advantage over the other becuase of weight and not boxing skills...

 

Cheating? That means they have to break the rules. You say that it is cheating in your eyes only to go on and admit that they are "playing by the rules" which is pretty much the exact opposite of cheating. You can complain that the rules should be changed, you can't complain that the fighters fight at the weight where they feel they would have the most success under the current ruleset. It can never be cheating.
