Fights where the bigger, quicker man lost to the NOTICEABLY smaller, slower man?

Roy Jones-Montell Griffin I (technically)

 

can't think of many good examples. maybe the penalosa-gonzalez fight? but penalosa's speed is noticeably deceptive.

 

rosario vs bramble whittaker vs hurtado

 

ok well i havent seen you name 1

 

maybe paul williams v carlos quintana, the first one
i remember williams looking like a giant next to quintana

 

Drago v Balboa

 

Balboa was quicker than Drago

 

Marciano - Walcott

 

So many of the examples being mentioned are not what the thread starter is asking for.......

.....there just are'nt many fights out there in history where the bigger and quicker fighter lost to the smaller and slower fighter.

Quintana vs Williams is an exellent example, but I attribute it more to Williams taking Quintana lightly.
Quintana got blitzed in the rematch.

At the world class level, its really hard to name examples.......I'm sure there are a few more out there, Simon Brown's KO of Terry Norris, but that also is attributed to Norris' weak whiskers and against Norris likely taking Brown lightly......like in the Williams Quintana fight, Norris easily avenged that loss as well.

I'm sure there are a few more examples, but I'd bet in each, the smaller man had a significant strenghth advantage moving up.......nothing like the physical disparities between Mayweather and JMM, where JMM turned out not to have any physical advantages going in.

 

JCC vs Taylor

 

Though not to the extent in the difference between Mayweather and Marquez, taylor held a significant edge in quickness and speed.....and I will say Taylor was even stronger physically, though not by much against Chavez.

With most of the physical advantages in Taylor's side, that indeed was a superb win by JC Chavez.
