This isn't a bodybuilding contest. If huge muscles were an advantage, everybody would look like arnold.
Muscles are good for short burst of energy, but they're not beneficial for long periods of exertion. Look to fighters like Vargas, Jeff Lacy and George foreman who depended on their strength and muscles what happened when they didn't knock their opponents out after the 6th round.
That's why sprinters have humongous legs and marathon runners are skinny and wiry.
And boxing is a marathon sport. Unless you're fighting Manny Pacquiao, in that case it's a marathon sprint.

Ruiz had the size and strength but Roy was way too fast.
Bradley has the muscles, but watching him again, he is a lot slower than I remember and telegraphs. Pac will tag him all day long and win.
Remember speed in boxing is probably the most deciding factor because the art that we follow is is specialised, and you can get strength by weight training, you can get ripped by hard work and dieting, you can get cardio by running, but power and speed, you can't teach it.
Trouble is Pacquiao tops all of those too
Speed
Power
Defense
Footwork
Workrate/Stamina
Gameplan/Tactics
Intangibles
Heart
Technique
Pacquiao has the edge on them all.

Tim Bradley looks HUGE for 146 lbs.
Bodybuilding doesnt translate to flexibility speed or chin .
