    I finally saw that fight. Was an awesome fight, but Guillermo Jones looked like a f*cking heavyweight in there against Lebedev. Lebedev was trying to do everything just to keep the big man off him. He was literally throwing the kitchen sink at Jones whose size wouldn't let him falter.

    Was a h#ll of a fight, but you can distinctly see the size advantage Jones had in that fight. As I said, looked like a heavyweight fighting a cruiserweight.

    Gatti/Gamache. Shocking difference and the end result was not at all surprising.

    Not at all a deciding factor, but anyone else feel Naoya Inoue looked a weight class above Omar Narvaez when they fought? Inoue looks like he could make the featherweight limit. :lol:

    Cotto vs Margarito

    Margarito being clearly outboxed and would have been KOed if both were in the same size

    GGG v Murray

    GGGs clearly the better boxer

    But Murray is so much bigger

    Its almost an entire weight class disadvantage

    If GGG somehow pulls out the win the haters are gonna be silenced Forever

    There's a reason why Pacquiao was a 7-1 underdog
    Not because of the skills, the difference of level

    It because of the SIZE difference :good

    Yeah, it was a really good fight but Jones did look like a full blown HW in there. That extra weight and size was definitely a big factor.

    Brock Lesnar vs Randy Coutore .

    Randy was kicking Brocks ass and getting the best of him .

    Had Brock never had a tremendous 60+ pound weight advantage , Randy might have finished him off .

    Good thing for Brock , he had that 1 punch knockout power . It really saved him because he was in for a long night if he couldn't finish Randy .
