On this vid Cus explains to Ali how Floyd Paterson could knock out a big heavyweight and Ali disagrees, is Cus making the argument for a fighter like Marciano (who he told Ali, would give him his toughest test in his prime) could take on the super heavies of today? This content is protected
Anyone over 200 lbs and trained can knock out anyone well over that weight. Esp if the person at 200 lbs is well trained and the fighter at a higher weight isn't. It's only so much force the human body and especially the human head can take without getting concussed. So yes, fighter "A" if he's 6'6" and weighs 250 lbs will have physical advantages over fighter "B" if fighter "B" is 6'0" and weighs 210 lbs. BUT! It definitely does not mean if fighter "B" if he's better trained, more experienced, and more athletic gifted, wouldn't be able to hurt, or knock -out fighter "A" though fighter "A" has the obvious height and weight advantage. As I said earlier the human head and brain can only take so much force before it's concussed. A fighter 200 lbs can stop anyone over that weight if they have the skill,timing,leverage, speed to land the right punch at the right time.
