    Fans of modern fighters consider size to be a critical variable in fantasy fights, except when the size dynamic favours the old time fighter, in which case they completely dismiss it!

    Spinks over 12.

    Over 25? Maybe nobody smaller than him.

    Somebody like Rocky Marciano, would be the smallest sensible pick, unless you are big on Sam Langford.

    I am not so sure about that, what about Bob Fitzsimmons?

    And i guess, technically, it would be pretty hard to argue against Joe Choynski. Who was the smallest fighter Jack actually lost against. Was it Choynski?
