    Give me some examples of much smaller men beating, or even better destroying larger fighters.

    It's irrelevent whether its a club fight from the 80's or turn of the 19th century Maher/Choynski bouts.

    Something about the dynamic of david vs goliath just interests me.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Videos are even better. I'm hoping this turns into a decent thread akin to my Stealing O's thread, with examples of much larger men being blasted out to smaller fighters completely outclassing larger ones.

    Here's a good example from two years ago, an entertaining one round scrap, with a 45 pound weight difference between the two fights.

    Max Baer vs Primo Carnera. There was an surprising 50 plus pound difference between the two.

    Ali was a giant slayer even if the giants he beat weren't technically that much bigger. Both Liston and Foreman at the time Ali dethroned them were considered by a great many to be the most destructive forces ever to box and nigh well invincible. Ali overcame massive odds on both occasions.
