And a great small guy will beat a good big guy...

[Tecnoworld]

What about a small fat guy, Eddie?

[Corelone]

Anthony has every advantage known to man. Size, age, pay, scenario, rematch claus, confidentiality claus, UKAD watching his back. It's like, Usyk has been on ice all along. A 2 year mando, ready space holder, fairly safe, not a big puncher.

Ruiz was bigger than AJ. Ruiz was 268lbs, AJ was 247lbs.

Ruiz was even bigger in the rematch, 284lbs. Joshua came in even lighter than before, at 238lbs.

Ruiz is shorter. But he is not a “small” man by any means.

Not always true although usually true. A good to great smaller guy can beat a good big guy. Holyfield moved up and became the heavyweight champion.

Although Holyfield is much better than Usyk as a heavyweight I would say, although Usyk is technically excellent.

Oh is that so Edward, Mike Tyson was a little guy beat a lot guys bigger than him u donut

Mostly true, but here´s a fun fact: Usyk´s height, weight and reach are pretty much identical with a prime Big George. So, while Usyk is not a huge puncher he´s not exactly a midget and if AJ can´t end the fight within 6 he will have a terrible time with Usyk´s work rate which always seems to go up towards the championship rounds. And the same applies to Wilder and Fury as well if/when they face Usyk. So even tho AJ is the favourite here I don´t see it wider than 60/40 (ok, 70/30 with home cooking).

Evan Field was roided to the eyeballs, Usyk doesn't stand a chance agaist these giant HWs with the much stricter drug testing.

He didn't mention Tyson. And he didn't say a smaller guy can't win.

He said if a smaller guy fights a bigger guy of the same level... then the bigger guy usually wins.

You've made yourself look a bit of a donut here by misunderstanding a very, very simple statement.

I swear if Eddie said water is wet, there'd be people on here disagreeing.
