          Is Margarito too tall for PAc? I see Margarito is about a forehead taller than Pac, that powerful jabs might land on Margarito's neck

            If you use your height well I.e Lewis, Klitschko etc then yeah its a good advantage. The same can be said about shorter fighters, if you use you being shorter than your opponent well I.e Tyson, Fraizer etc then its a good advantage too. The difference is using it well and making it your advantage, some do some don't.

              Yes, it is considered an advantage.

              Being smaller is also considered an advantage.

              It all depends on the matchup and how the fighter uses it.

                    If your shoulders are higher up than your opponents its an advantage. Most taller people have higher shoulders so yes, it is an advantage but not a absolute one. There are many factors, that is just one of them.
