    So, I have been mulling over this question for a while now. Don't use those guys that I provided so literally, they are mainly there as an example. The overall question is, at what point does size and power overcome speed and boxing skills no matter how shot a fighter is? Watching Golota get obliterated by Adamek last year, I could see that he was done. He weighed in at 256 for that fight and he wasn't fat, he was in decent shape. So, can a small, fast guy, who is outweighed by over 100 pounds still take care of a shot boxer who has such a size advantage over them? Can this be comparable to how guys can outbox Valuev despite the huge size difference? Or could the big guy just realize that the little guy can't hurt him and just go all out?

    Please discuss.

    I don't think Golota would land anything on either.

    People will always say "Golota destroys them in one" but with what? You think a slow guy is going to to land on Mayweather, who made the best active puncher, Marquez look silly? Or fast guys like Judah? There's no way Golota could land anything solid.

    Size is only a factor if you can use it. Golota couldn't.

    There is a precedent for these type of victories too.

    Anyone else? I know that this can be considered an odd question but, I'd like to hear some opinions.

    err marquez and judah (moreso judah) landed some solid shots on floyd. if golota landed even 2/3 in the whole fight he'd probably have him hurt lolz

    Its an interesting thought.... One thing I will say is that in a lineal catchweight fight I think that a prime Roy Jones Jr. at 180 lbs beats Shannon Briggs at 245 lbs, could be wrong but I think if Roy stays calm and collected he can avoid almost all of Shannons bombs and win a UD. Theres a few more I can think of in terms of size mismatches. I really feel that a prime Ray Robinson at 158 lbs TKO's James Toney at 200 lbs. Thats another crazy prediction, but its a gut feeling I have about a fight with a huge size difference.

    Dawson at 175 lbs could probably decision Sam Peter at 240 lbs at this point in time.

    I've often thought about this too.


    Floyd, possibly.
    Pac, not even possibly.


    Not based on one being overall superior, but based on their styles.

    I don't know about that. Golota is prety adept at swinging punches low so he might land more than you think.

    Golota would bite Mayweather or Pacquiao, then hits them in the sack so hard he causes them to have a vasectomy

    Interesting. I think that Peter would probably land something that would hurt Chad.

    Yup, Floyd's style would fit this scenario. I was just looking at quick small guys.

    Even at the age of 41 (i think)? Right now, I doubt that Golota lands anything on Floyd. He barely touched Adamek from what I recall.

    I dont know. Depends how shot Golota is, how well he takes their punches and how well they take Golota's punches.

    Not sure if rumour is true but Hamed, a FW dropped British CW champ Johny Nelson in sparring, this isnt that hard to believe since I see bigger guys get hurt by lil guys in gym all the time. They dont simply "walk through the punch" as some people would have you believe, a hard punch is a hard punch regardless of weight, just punch yourself in the face and know it really doesnt take much to hurt yourself and just imagine a 150lb boxer hitting you.

    Id say Golota wins as he is still a world ranked boxer but I wouldnt be the least bit shocked if both guys outbox him easy. He needs to land clean and punches you dont see coming still hurt...

    Some champs throughout history have dominated heavies at smaller weights. Look at Fitzsimmons, knocking out heavies even though he was basically a middleweight. And Langford, doing the same when he started as a goddamned Lightweight.
