      Didn't seem like much of a difference to me.

        Leonard was 3 inches taller with an 8 inch reach advantage. I think that would constitute 'bigger' for a lot of people.

          Why would anyone talking about height and reach and not weight? Hearns was bigger than Mike Tyson if we go by height.

            If Tommy Hearns was a heavyweight then that might be a reasonable comparison.

              Now you're going back to weight as a deciding factor. Make up your mind.

                I never said it wasn't a factor.
