Legit Thread: How much size can you overcome with skills?

Floyd is afraid of big fighters (Margarito)

Who can walk through his measly punch output and defensive style.

 

Edit..
Was trying to post the vid. of Oscar sparring w/ Shaq. My phone won't let me.

 

I think a smaller boxer has a chance if the difference in class is massive and smaller guys has the punch of someone much bigger

if you had a welter with the tools of Floyd plus the power of a Hearns who could bang at light heavy or so than maybe he would have a chance

but the big man he was facing would have to be about as unskilled as a Tye Fields or Julius Long type big awkward lumbering

but then again a guy like Fields has KO'd lots of big heavys despite not being all that great a boxer

a welter vs a heavy is not really that feasible to me

 

If anyone has even sparred someone bigger than you, not even necessarily the size and weight difference between a WW and a HW...then they will know that being in the ring with someone much bigger than them immediately makes you work harder. And that's even if you are making them miss. There is pressure constantly and they don't even have to be doing much.

 

Barbados Joe Walcott would disagree. :yep
