No, but you need something else to compensate. Huge raw strength and a massive weight advantage being the obvious ones. If you're small, slow...
Because none of those guys had his combination of speed, technique and general nastiness. Firpo was slow as molasses and looked like a crude...
Slow, crude, unathletic guys, sure. By the 90s you had guys the size of Willard and Firpo with the speed and athleticism of smaller fighters....

Yeah, I thought it could have been stopped after the first knockdown. Durodola was running on fumes after that and was lucky he was even allowed...
Hot damn! I stand corrected!
He's busy boxing his shadow and showing off his sweet southpaw moves.
