    23 - 11 (REACH leading).

    That's better!

    Both are factors..

    Height, reach, weight favors pbf

    No reason for pbf to lose fighting a midget.

    question is which is the BIGGER factor, here... more likely to have an effect on the fight.

    Weight is strength in clinches and a shock absorber. But reach will be more important still.

    I kind of agree, this will be a boxing match so Floyd`s reach will be of high importance.

    It's scientifically impossilbe to quantify which will have a bigger effect on the fight but to satisfy you question I guess it should be the weight

    Bigger, Greater.. let's not get petty over lexis & semantics, now.

    Also, no-one's being asked to delve deep or into the realm of empirical data.
    It's not rocket science... all that's being asked for is an opinion & an elaborate explanation of that opinion.
