    I did, you have no other arguments as to why Zhang hits harder besides size. Please tell me otherwise, and in the end Zhang still isn't the favorite even if he does

    I've done all this already. Not my fault if you can't keep up.

    So you're ducking, just admit your arguments are shitposts.

    Agree with lots of what you say, but if that's true, then 260 pound Primo Carnera would hit harder than 220 pound George Foreman. 245 pound Jess Willard would hit harder than 218 pound Mike Tyson. After a certain point, you do get diminishing returns from size. Otherwise, Valuev would be the hardest heavyweight puncher of all time.

    We all know that the bigger guy doesn't automatically have the best chin, so why would it always be the same with the power of a punch?

    Just admit that you are slow and didn't read the thread.

    I just reread and you had no argument for Zhang hitting harder outside of size. It's why you're trying to hard to leave, go ahead no one's stopping you. You took a clown position dealing in absolutes when we know exceptions to the standards aren't uncommon in boxing

    Already done you ignored it because you have no rebuttal and we're going to keep it that way
    I'm still waiting for you to argue Zhang hits harder outside of size. You haven't said a damn thing really.

    In the end Zhang isn't the favorite either way, he gets stopped

    InMemoryofJakeLamotta responded to the very post I quoted from you and told you straight up that size doesn't always mean more power, usually does but not always. Gave you examples too, It's because you argued for it in that post, catch up
