This is the way it should be, anyway. Little men going around thinking they are better than they are just because they have the weight limit protection. In nature these little guys wouldn't even be in the picture for the low hanging fruit. Your Beterbiev's, who is one of the hardest men in a non-heavy weight division, would be eaten alive by someone like Martin Bakole and would have to go life and death for an apple with the likes of Dave Allen.
Interesting question . Do you think he would loose against katie taylor if you just put them into the ring ? No idea
Absolutely not. Any average male boxer can beat a great female boxer... never mind the weight difference. This was put to the test in 1994 when undefeated female, kickboxing legend Lucia Rijker (also with a 17-0 record in boxing), got knocked out cold in an exhibition against an average Muay Thai guy. And yet, against women, she was literally unbeatable, with an incredible combined boxing/kickboxing record of 54-0-1.
Could Lennox have a chance if he trains? Tyson's biggest problem was getting close to the taller Paul. Lewis is significantly bigger and Paul would have to take the fight to him being the smaller fighter.
