Favorite Examples of Small Guys Slaying Giants

Jack Dempsey-Jess Willard

It was always fun to watch Mike Tyson beat much taller and bigger opponents. Lou Savarese, Andrew Golota, Frank Bruno, Tyrell Biggs, etc...

Of course, there's Chris Byrd's pressure being too much for Vitali Klitschko to handle. He couldn't stand the heat, as the 9th round was too much for him, so he got out of the kitchen. Byrd, barely above super middleweight when he turned pro, was giving up over half a foot and around 30 lbs.

It's too bad that there's such a limited amount of Charley Burley footage. I would've loved to see his fight with J.D. Turner. A small middleweight beating up a heavyweight with 70 pounds on him.

 

Although they were the same weight class, it was enjoyable to watch a midget like Dwight Qawi beat tall light-heavyweights, like Jerry Martin.

 

That's nice, but like reasonable people I actually look at the RESULT of the fight..


Who won the 9th round and then via TKO?

Who quit on the stool?


Reality= Byrd TKO 9 Quitali
Undertrained old Lummox TKO 6 Shitali

Quitali fanboys= "Bu, bu, bu, but he was ahead on the cards when he lost!!"

 

Because it's true. Vitali couldn't handle it, the mighty slaps of Byrd were too much to handle and Byrd was taking over, so Vitali quit and had his baby brother beat him.

 

That's just what they claim. Brittley was stepping up the opposition, so he was taking much more time between fights anyway. He just couldn't handle the purposeful slaps and momentum of Chris Byrdzaghe, who was coming on too strong for him to handle the heat.

Back to other examples.

Joe Frazier was much smaller than Buster Mathis, and beat him up.

Joe Louis against the Baer brothers.

 

Finally, Vitali fans admit it. :good
