    Inspired by the other thread.

    The conventional wisdom is that smaller rings = better fights, so I'm interested to know the answer.

    Well Frazier had a few fights that could have been fought in a phone booth.

    Kalambay vs Barkley sticks in my head of being pretty small.

    I’ve been to club shows with a 17-foot ring, which is good for action of course.

    Far as I know 18 feet has been the lower limit for title fights.
