    But a great little man can be the Undisputed champion of the world in 2024.

    Although, at 6'3, Usyk is hardly little. We can put all the modern giants making easy work of Ali, Liston, Fraizer etc to bed tho.

    Congratulations to Usyk and Ukraine. Very happy that corrupt judges didn't ruin his moment. Awesome win for boxing!

    To be fair in Boxing is different, as you can essentially use just your hands, and there is so much corruption that the bigger, taller guy is allowed to clinch the s**** out of you. But in any other Martial Art, 200+ lbs is more than enough to be competitive at highest HW level.

    So that saying is completely b.c.
    As after some weight, it's literally an exchange of speed, agility, footwork, and even balance for power, durability, strength, etc.
    And the higher the weight goes, there is diminishing returns.
    But it's all depend on the actual height of the fighter, and his build of course.

    Got sick to death of hearing people say this last week.

    Can't wait to hear Simon Jordan later. He said it about 50 times
