Does bigger mean better?

Really?

I guess you haven't heard about Cruiserweight.

And actually, while it started out limited at 190 pounds. It now is limited to 200.

And divisions always come about a generation overdue.

It's only a matter of time before it's bumped to 210 - and most likely a new division topped off at 190 Lbs. returns.

In Wrestling we do it like that for High School. Works wonderfully.

You begin losing ability every time you add even a margin of weight. Jofre, Gomez, Pep... they make Mayweather look like old Hopkins.

How did Byrd's superior athleticism and defense work for him against Ibeabuchi and Wlad?

Worked great against Vitaly!!

Byrd beat up the better brother ha! Before we bump or grind anything lets establish a trend. Like the last four champs being over 250 pounds... Something like that, whats the rush?

Your confusing a fighter being better with a fighter being faster.

Lol didn't realize you beat me to it.

[just the facts]

Certainly not in every instance but over all yes bigger is better

[QueensburyRules]

- -Byrd wouldn't have beat Vitali had his AMATEUR trainer known they could've easily won the fight on points already accrued with one hand.

They learned a hard lesson how the pro game works, and in one of his last fights, with the same injury he staved off the much bigger, stronger more raging Chisora to win a wide decision.

But the unprincipled, untutored nutter butters here get their little chew to share as is their natures.

Your right Queen B. Byrd was not really beating Vitalie... When one really looks at what happened Vitali quit, probably out of concerns for a permanent injury.

Byrd has his moments and so did a lot of other guys who did not weigh upwards of 250...

A man of 200 lbs., with the right footwork, a strong grip and the ability to hold his breath under water for long periods of time, can turn size into a disadvantage for behemoths.

[Richard]

There is going to be a trade off somewhere, it is like in Formula 1 motor racing 'Engineers and car designers have to decide? If they work on improving TOP-END speed, down-force is most likely going to be compromised and the list goes on etc

Somebody like Mike Tyson was unusual, because nature created him without any trade off's 'There has not be any heavyweight since him with the same dimensions who? Has been able to operate with his speed,power or co-ordination.

There are trade off's with Fury, such as his lack of power.

Note: Size in itself can be a advantage, but it can also work against you. I don't think there is one definitive answer to this thread question.

I read a book a while back about genes/sport.It states some albeit very few win the genetic code and are strong in all areas of physique eg speed/power etc due to twitch fibres and other genetic factors.Hence I still feel like the book says its all a genetic lottery and some people come up trumps.

Seems to depend on coordination and how well they use that size. If technique is equal and endurance is strong, only then can bigger mean better.

According to women I've dated, the answer is yes as well haha.
