    No.

    A fighter has to make the most with what he has. There's been plenty of 6'5+ fighters in history who never made the most of their size advantage.

    False. It's obviously an advantage, but it's not unfair, no more than asking if people who are more naturally athletic or have faster reflexes than others have an "unfair advantage."

    aw crap my bad, I meant to select no but selected yes. obviously the rules of heavyweight are anyone over 200LBS they're fair game. there have been many other boxers with their height and weight who haven't done ****, the klits are very athletically gifted for men of their size

    No, I don't think they have an unfair advantage.

    If only size mattered, people like Julius Long and Nikolai Valuev would be champs.

    Of course. There best asset are there height and size. Same with lewis. How do you think Nikolai Sergeyevich valuev became champion. Unlike valuev they do have skills which is why there unstopable.

    Ask Primo Carners, Jess Willard, Valuev, etc. if sized mattered. Hell Carnera and Willard were almost beat to death by guys they dwarfed.
