    Breazeale with 20lbs extra muscle (flab) v Valuev who weighs around 325lbs.
    12rds.
    Weight disparity. 50lbs.
    Height disparity. 5 inches.
    Reach disparity. 3.5inches.

    Can Breazeale overcome the size disadvantage?

    I reckon Breazeale would take that one. Too much gusto. Think if Ruiz was a SHW

    Look ,I know why you made this thread,because you perceived Marciano was being slighted which isn't the case .I'm trying to establish at what point size DOES matter.I picked Marciano because .
    1.He was small
    2.He wasn't fast
    3.He wasn't blessed with great boxing skills
    4.He never fought a ranked super heavy

    The same can be said of Breazeale when compared to Valuev though. He's not a talented fighter, he's small, he's not fast and hasn't got good boxing skills.

    This fight is really interesting, because breazeale isn't exactly known for being the aggressor, he's known for keeping up the high guard and trying to get counter punches off. I'm struggling to visualize the fight in my head. From what I've seen, valuev seems to have more instances where he lets his hands go. I see it being a really slow, dull affair. Breazeale isn't stupid enough to just keep up the high guard. He should make use of the movement advantage he has compared to valuev in this one. Breazeale has a decent chin, so I don't see valuev worrying him too much. Breazeale on points, 8 rounds to 4.

    I wont say what I should because I don't want to be impolite.Breazeale is 6'7"255lbs. Carry on on your own with this,it has no interest or appeal for me.

    Valuev was never a puncher.

    No do say it please, you did read the words COMPARED to Valuev? He's tiny compared to the Giant.
