    which one would you rather be?

    imo its nice to be big and powerful but you dont have much versatility. its kinda hard fighting smaller guys who throw a bunch of punches especially hooks. all you can do is lean back (which is wrong) or keep your left hand up. where as a smaller guy can do plenty of slick stuff.

    a smaller fighter imo has more variety. as long as the smaller guys has a punch to keep the bigger guy off or ko him, then is it better to be a smaller (shorter) fighter

    plz discuss

    Depends on your style.

    At the end of the day though the small guy takes a lot of ring wear and the big guy is likley to retire with his brain intact.

    Bigger.

    I'd ask the wonderful Wizard of Oz to be 6'5 and 240 lbs.

    Because if you have size and strength and are technically skilled, the vast majority of modern HWs are easy to beat.
