    It had more to do with skill pbf didn't walk through bust jmm and stop him. He outboxed him and made him miss.

    Dude, whether you like it or not, the size was there. Acting like it did not help is being disingenuous.

    Now, if you want to take my post as saying Floyd ONLY won because he was bigger, that's up to you.

    I don't think Rigo will lose, I want Loma to win , but he's featherfisted and that's one of the reasons I think Loma will lose

    Someone doesn't want to give Loma any credit in case he beats Rigo, despite consistently arguing that Rigo is the better of the two ...

    Regardless of the advantages/disadvantages here I'm excited that two supreme boxers will face each other. This sorta fight is worth having to deal with mindless babble from the resident white supremacists and black panthers.

    Cant wait!!!!

    By manhandling Marquez on the inside and sharp shooting from range, Mayweather was utilizing his significant reach and weight advantage. Execution in a skillful way or not is irrelevant, he was still exploiting a size advantage.

    Walking through punches and stopping a fighter isn't demonstration of a size advantage. That's strategically exploiting superior durability and power. What size advantage do you feel Golovkin was utilizing against Brook?

    Walking through his shots and breaking his face. Spence broke his face but it took him 7 rounds to do it and he can crack ggg did it in 3 bigger stronger man more power.

    Durability and Punching power are not measurements of size. In the sport of boxing, size is measured in hard numbers via height, weight, and reach. If a fighter does not have significant advantages in these categories, than he does not have a size advantage to exploit. This is why you can't answer the question, and tried to deflect to a Spence comparison.

    Golovkin could take Brook's punches better than Brook could take his, but this has been true in every Golovkin fight regardless of his opponent's size relative to his own.

    As for Golovkin vs Brook being a matter of "Walking through shots and stopping his opponent." That's an over simplification of how the fight unfolded. Golovkin utilized a magnificant jab and educated foot work to cut off the ring, and while he made occasional sacrifices (take a punch to land one), he also deflected a great deal of Brook's offense. Mike Tyson utilized similar tactics against opponents as large as Biggs, it didn't make him bigger than Biggs.

    And once more, Mayweather had height, reach, and weight on Marquez, and he masterfully utilized every one of those advantages.

    All 3 smaller guys in your example ask for it and get/ will get the trashing they deserve.
    But in Mayweather case, he didn't honour the agreed catch weight. Talking about bully and stacking advantages.

    Bullsh*t....

    FMJ got JMM up two weight classes to 147 then didn't even make that weight himself.
    Canelo knocks out a Welter that was knocked out at lightweight then gets KO of the year.
    Both Sturm and Hopkins fought a fat and slow 147 ODH at 160, Sturm got robbed and Hopkins got a pat on the back.

    Golovkin did not ask to fight Rigo, it has been Rigo running his mouth. Golovkin had a fight with Eubank, but Eubank ran away, so Brook stepped up, he wanted that fight badly, so Golovkin had nobody else to fight at that time. Golovkin wanted to fight El Pollo and Saunders ASAP! El Pollo dropped his belt and Saunders refused to fight Golovkin....................that's just a simple fact. The creator of this thread worships Wilder, thinks Wilder if the greatest heavyweight in the world, in history...................claims that Wilder only fights the top heavyweights! Yes, like Sconiers...........

    He's saying only Golovkin and Loma can get away with it. Mayweather can't.
