remember you saw dlh and pbf face to face but remember in the ring is with almost flat footed (light weight shoes) and just trunks, meaning dlh's body will be more built and stronger than floyd and obviouly you would se the 3 inch height difference

People make a lot of size but i know it dont mean much. Especially when youre the type of boxer like PBF where youre not taking the bigger mans punches. Ruiz v RJJ.
And DLH started out at a much lighter weight anyway. And PBF is growing naturally as well. PBF is probably near his natural weight for his age now anyway.

If he loses.

It's up the best fighter on the night. "The one who dares to be great. The one who dares to be bold"...as the great ALI would say.

No Need For Concern

Although, not to be compared, I was pretty impressed with the way PBF handled Corrales, who was clearly taller.

Floyd put on a masterful boxing clinic in that one.

Plus, as everyone knows by now, PBF has been sparring against much bigger guys, so, no concern here.

Well clearly size isnt a matter in the fight, Floyd dismantled DIEGO CORRALES, and corrales is giagantic

True that. Corrales seemed pretty lost after the first couple of rounds then it was all downhill for him after that. Couldn't figure Floyd out.

If size didn't matter, there would be a lot more fighters winning titles in 5 divisions...

I agree. And those fighters would indeed have to be special. Which means, very few fighters are capable of ever accomplishing that feat.
