I don't consider any modern Heavyweight below 6'5'' as a serious threat.

You put a lot of IF there. How about if the smaller heavy has the calf size of Crawford and the palm size of Ali?

Barrett is hardly short. Fields had big power but was otherwise pretty terrible.

 

Those are p4p criteria

 

Six feet four is still an enormous heavyweight and more than big enough to compete with anyone in the division provided you have the raw athleticism, drive and skillset to compete. I'd say you could still be successful at around the six foot mark, though you're obviously facing an uphill battle at that size. At six four, unless you're a beanpole, you're most likely going to be around the 230/240lbs mark with around an 80 inch reach. The only things stopping you from being the best therefore are your own innate determination and ability level.

 

Remember the old saying.. Its not the size of the dog in the fight. Its the size of the fight in the dog??

 

This is nonsense! Rocky Marciano beat all his bigger opponents with the perfect record of 49-0. Your thread generates wide arguments and YDKSAB.

 

And Parker just beat a 6'8" 260 lb fighter himself. Levels matter.

 

If you think that Tyson struggled against James Tillis you need to watch another sport.

 

This is a ridiculous thread! All things being equal? Except the height? Ok , this logic can be applied to KO power. All things being equal, the guy with the KO punch wins every time! SMH

 

The OP is probably 5.4'. I don't take man below 5.5' seriously lol.

 

I just looooove that fight.
