Size and height vs. Speed and skill

[-Blackout-]

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

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

It's a factor, but not a bigger factor than talent.

I'm look at you Valuev.

All else being equal, the bigger guy will win. But rarely are all other things equal.

Tyson - small heavyweight with great boxingskills, speed and KO power.. The baddest man on the planet.

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.

smaller guys can win because of weight drain.
