    Examples of elite boxers taking on much bigger opponents.

    Do we have any examples of this? The best I have is Mikey Garcia fighting these big guys in at the RGBA.





    These guys were much bigger, but clearly suck.

    Steve Cunningham vs Frank Mir is interesting to me. Steve won every round, but he could barely hurt Mir. I think Logan Paul's boxing ability is closer to Frank Mir's than it is to those guys that Mikey was sparring.

    Haye v Valuev. About 100 pounds in weight difference i think and Valuev couldn't beat him. Size and power aren't always related.

      Floyd mayweather the TBE fought the largest man in Canelo Alvarez and schooled him. That's why he's greater than Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson or Paccuiaqo

          Every boxer should be laser measured before each fight and have their reach measured and the full tale of the tape done legitimately by a third party. All fighters should be weighed before they get in the ring on fight night. Fans should demand this. I was laser measured at just a c*nt hair over 5’10” but every guy I meet who says they are 5’10” says I must be 6”, it’s ridiculous.

                Please do not equate any of these fights to a four division lineal champion fighting a content creator.
