    Rigamortis is the third stage of death...by then it would be too late because the muscle tissue would be well wasted away. :dance1:

    Much of it would depend on the referee unfortunately. If the ref did not allow a lot of holding and kept the fight as close to a striking and moving contest then a smaller heavyweight has a good chance. However, if the behemoth is allowed to jab and grab he's going to simply wear down the smaller fighter with the old hug and mug.

    Klitschko was able to defeat Byrd not necessarily because of his size but because of his ability to vary his timing on his punches.

    If you actually believe a blown up actual cruiser weight would blast out a prime Liston in 3rds, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Also one on Pluto. But that is YOUR opinion and your certainly entitled to it.
