    How often does the bigger good fighter beat the smaller good fighter ?

    Critics always say the bigger good fighter always beat the smaller good fighter. Based on boxing notable heavyweight history where the weight difference can be a 100lb difference how often does this happen.

    More than the other way around. You'll see when Fury wins Usyk.

      If boxing had 1 champ per division it'd be rare to see guys jump up and beat another man naturally bigger and equally talented. Boxing would also need a Super HW division.

      But if this is in reference to Fury vs. Usyk. I like Usyk and think Fury is going to make it ugly and ragdoll Usyk. Usyk may look good for 3rds but Fury will use his mass. Fury is a tall order even for Usyk. And if Usyk got tired from Joshua, Fury will exhaust him to a TKO 10-12.

          more common back in the 90's and before. More often today, I see the smaller, faster fighter moving up and outboxing the bigger guy.

            Without a CW, hardly ever.

            Everything else being equal, size will matter 9x10

              I always say if talent is equal, SIZE MATTERS GREATELY.

                  If everything is equal, size usually prevails.

                    Usyk has about as much chance to win as Bud Crawford if we throw him in the ring with Canelo.
