To many boxingfans - who wins is all about size and height.. But how much does size really matter..?
Tyson - small heavyweight with great boxingskills, speed and KO power.. The baddest man on the planet. Manny Pacquiao overwhelms bigger opponents with punches in bunches and quick footwork. Evander Holyfield never outweighed his opponents as a HW, And fought some of the biggest heavyweights around (lewis, Valeuv, Riddick Bowe) and was succesful most of the time with willpower and heart.

My question is.. How much does Size and height really matter?

Go watch Corrales/Clottey and then get back to me
IMO, speed and skill are more advantegous, because you can overcome small size with skill, but it's hard to overcome a lack of speed and talent with size alone... unless you're fighting a guy with the same pitfall.
In that case it's funny how no one gave Pacman a chance against an old shot DLH eh?

Just to be clear, Tyson was not a small heavyweight, he was merely a short heavyweight. Until the last few non-contending years of his career, he routinely outweighed opponents (in fact, more often than not- he was equal or greater in weight in ~30 of his first 45 fights), and was rarely significantly outweighed.
