    Granted perhaps I'm not good at spotting alts but I don't buy it. Reznick makes interesting points and seems pretty open minded .

    I could be wrong ,i just find it interesting both use the word fraud , both post about why size doesnt matter (almost a infatuation with them ), both claim not to weigh alot , both claim to be in gyms that are suspiciously open limited amounts at a time , both have similar amounts os being arrogant and synical when called on something, Reznic deleted his vid when i called Dago on where his alledged vid was and one claims he cant post a vid because no one in the gym wont agree or take a minute to do so bc they are strict or gang bangers (dago ) ???lol

    Either way both are ridiculous and if its one person , he is double ridiculous !

    I deleted my vid because you were displaying obsessive and psychotic behavior.
    I'm pretty sure dago has posted videos of himself before. Obviously we are not the same person.

    Coo Coo land is right however theres only 2 Coo Coos then ,one isnt me thats for sure ,you're a bit off. But i do AGAIN find it ironic that Dago is the only one that defended you in that little kid phone call B.S stuff.....funny isnt it because hes the only one who sided with you in that vid you posted ...and then you claimed stalking as reason for deleting it???????lmfao

    Because the level of punching power is a lot bigger at 147 than 126. Armstrong wouldn't be on an even playing field if he was at featherweight. A welterweight can walk through a featherweight purely because they are used to being hit harder. Also, I think size matters a lot more at the lower weights than it does at heavyweight. That's why I made the thread about heavies. This thread stemmed from all of the threads about sub par super heavies vs atg giant killers like Dempsey and Louis where people were saying Dempsey and Louis would get wrecked by guys who couldn't even dominate their own division.

    Let's not give this dude the time of day man. It is clear he has some sort of mental disability and the more we entertain his comments the more we fuel him.

    Dago you are just pissed because when I went to see your vid you told me too,it wasn't there...and I read the comments on THAT video,i now I see why its not there based on the contents of quality of whatever you showed on skills.Yes you don't have to prove anything,its just easier to talk shyte and sit back and claim things. lol

    This same issues exist at a higher weight as well.

    The reality is Dempsey and Marciano would have to bulk if they were HW fighters today.

    I doubt any scientist never mind anybody on here could tell me the point at which a weight advantage doesn't count. I think it's fair to assume that it still counts even if you're a heavyweight.

    At heavyweight the added weight doesn't really change punching power too much. Willard had 60 lbs on Dempsey but I am almost certain Dempsey hit harder. Same with most if not all super heavies today.

    Pacquaio punched harder than some welterweights, didn't stop him adding the weight to level the playing field.

    surely the bulkers would have to cut mass to develop the cardio to keep up with demps and rock?

    There's a reason why Toney went from 160 to 220 rather than Ruiz going from 220 to 160.

    Maybe Malignaggi but fighters like Cotto or De La Hoya, definitely not. At heavyweight size is largely negligible. It depends on the fighter. Look at Jones-Ruiz. Jones was outweighed by a great deal but used his speed/agility to win.
