Little Guys Beating Big Guys

[oldgringo]

I'm not really talking about lower divisions, like Henry Armstrong beating guys a few pounds heavier, or Floyd Mayweather beating Carlos Baldomir and Oscar De La Fishnet, I mean guys beating heavyweights who had a HUGE size advantage.

Charley Burley, 5'9 and 151, beating the 6'3, 219 lb J.D. Smith. The Ring said Smith's face was beat to raw beefsteak.

The 6'1, 187 lb. Jack Dempsey destroying the 6'6, 245 lb. Jess Willard.

The 6', 210 lb. Chris Byrd (started career at LHW) beating the 6'7, 245 lb Vitali Quitschko.



I'm still waiting for someone to knock Nicolay Valuev out. Maybe Wlad and him can fight. I've never seen a 7 foot, 320 lb. fighter get flattened, but I really would like to see it.

I think Duran/Barkley is valid in this discussion. Barkley was a big, rough **** who probably should have been a damn light heavyweight. He was huge compared to Roberto. Skills trumped brute strength though.

Jorge Castro, the old Middleweight mainstay knocked the **** out of Livinn Castillo not too long ago. Castillo was a Heavyweight last I saw.
