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

    Joshua is pretty dirty himself. Hitting on the break vs Whyte, and doing the same vs Wlad, plus spitting out his mouth prince while hurt to gain extra time.

    The have only been two 5'10" heavyweight in the past 30 years. One was Tyson, who at his best I'd favor for now. The other is Tua, who I think takes a pasting and loses on points. Both Tyson and Tua were dirty by the way.

    Michael Spinks is arguably the greatest LHW ever. Boxrec has him listed @ 6' 2 1/2" - a full 4.5" taller than Mike Tyson.

    Height means almost N O T H I N G when you know how to FIGHT.

    YDKSAB...

    Really?? So you use an overmatched LHW vs one of the best ever HW's in his prime as your example?

    You don't know boxing.

    The OP poster said taller fighters beat shorter fighters. He said NOTHING about weight, Einstein.

    LEARN HOW TO READ.

    You are the one who brought up a fight that happened to have 2 fighters from 2 different weight classes, like an idiot.

    No problem.

    So how do you explain Joe Louis' 6 round destruction of Primo Carnera? Carnera had a 3.5" height advantage over Louis. Go ahead, Einstein, lets hear your explanation...

    Sure. Just like RJJ was, right? You are really showing how little you know about boxing.

    Dude what part of there are exceptions to the rules don't you get. Joe Louis fits into the category of "special" fighters that I feel are exceptional to this rule. Right alongside guys like Tyson and Holyfield. Besides, Carnera was a circus act, so why are you even bringing him up.

    Get off my dick *****!

    Jones was 193 the night he beat Ruiz. In comparison, Louis was 196 the night he destroyed Carnera. So yeah, Jones was a HW.

    Now, run along and get a CLUE..
