    Not really. But still irrelevant to Floyd v Blade.

    Jesus people are stupid. SUMBU KALAMBAY WAS 5'9. Roberto Duran was freaking 5'7.
    Iran never used his height and reach because he was a BRAWLER I mean my god when did you ever see Barkley sit back an attempt to outbox someone?
    And TONY PEP who Mayweather faced was 6'1/6'2. If Barkley used his height and reach that would be a vaild point but he NEVER did.

    He showed very decent handspeed against Duran. Hit him with a double left hook, shades of RJJ.

    "Using height" is irrelevant if they are much taller. It's only detrimental for the tall fighter if the shorter fighter has power and can bully on the inside, which is not Mayweather.

    And what weight class did he fight Tony pep at and what achievements did he have?

    So this definitely means Mayweather would beat Kovalev too! Lmfao still using triangle theories

    No dummy - it means size isn't everything.

    Of course it isn't everything, but you'd be a fool to think it doesn't matter.

    We would've seen Mayweather beating down 6 footers at middleweight otherwise

    Anyway I'm glad that most posters here agree that Floyd would never have achieved the greatness that Duran showed on that special night on Feb 24.

    Canelo brought the bag. Danny Jacobs didn’t.

    Floyd was rocking Oskee and Canelo who have a granite chin.

    6 footers -lol he doesn't need to. He was beating fighters 20 lbs heavier than him
