size really does matter in boxing

I'll do you one better. I'll show you a round where Kovalev almost got KO'ed and why he needed a month off to fully recover.

He was always a small light heavy. He's kinda tall, but he's not big like Beterbiev or Joe Smith.

People want to make it seem like he's huge, but I bet Canelo's weight is fairly similar on fight night.

 

Generally agree with everything he said about Loma and boxing.

 

Loma is a reach fraud, he actually has like 70-72” reach. He has gorilla arms

 

Try eating 1 quarter pounder from McDonald's. Then try eating 20 quarter pounders. It'll give you an idea of the difference 7lbs can make.

 

No quite. The quarter pounder only counts the weight of the beef patty, not the bread, add-ons or condiments.

 

Just shows what Pacquiao did might not be emulated again.

 

Which is why I said 20 quarter pounders not 28. Altho it's a stupid analogy by me anyway so stay there while I uppercut myself for failed troll attempt. Good day fine sir.

 

I don’t think he lost because if size. He lost because of skill. That said he’s also gotten really cocky and seems to think he’s the second coming of GGG. He thinks he can knock out fighters with one ounch and has stopped setting punches and just throws hooks and uppercuts

 

Exactly. He wasn't fighting a 168 fighter, and an old LHW. He was fighting a prime LHW.

Not sure how long you've followed boxing but here's a classic quote.

A good big man beats a good small man.

It's a classic quote because it's true.

 

It's different at HW, hence the reason why HW is 201- unlimited

But yes, weight classes exist for a reason

 

Canelo's punches had little effect on the naturally bigger man. Carrying that extra weight also slowed Canelo down.
