    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?

          It doesn't matter, only in recent years has it mattered because *****s cry about the size of welterweights.

            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, Rid**** Bowe) and was succesful most of the time with willpower and heart.

            While you're at it check this one out - Amazing!:


            My question is.. How much does Size and height really matter?
            Go watch Corrales/Clottey and then get back to me

                    Speed and skill win it for me, i can't see a bigger and most likely slower person could catch up with a speedy skillful fighter!
