      size definatley matters.. imagine the klitchkos were 6'2 220 instead of 6'8 or
      6''7 250 plus..the reason there so good is there so big if the were the same size they would not be nowhere near as good

          Sure, Pacquiao may be more skilled than Wlad Klitschko but I don't see him winning against a heavyweight, regardless of the hw's skill level

            if the klitschkos were 6'2 instead of 6'8.........they'd be 0-3 against chris byrd.

              a good big man will beat a good little man.

              you need a great big man to beat a great little man usually.
              Well said man.

                exactly... everything matters when skills are close.... even ring size, location, lifestyle, etc...

                  Size and skills matters.

                  You could be big for nothing.

                  In the streets, i have seen taller, bigger guys get slapped around by significantly smaller guys in street fights because they don't know how to defend themselves.

                  Look at Andy Kolie, he's huge, tall, and has a long reach...why is he not at least a top contender, let alone talked about unless he just got beat up.

                  Skills matters more than size, but if you have size with some skills then you have an advantage over those who are smaller with skills, imo.

                    Oscar is a good big man. Maweather is a good/great little man.

                    Explain.

                      So you honestly think Oscar was in his prime?
