    What are some boxing matches where the "weaker" guy beat the physically stronger guy?

    Name some fights where a less-physically-strong boxer beat up a physically strong guy with a lot of gorilla upper body strength.

    Specifically, a boxer -- whose upper body is "sub-par" (according to society's standards) and has small shoulders -- boxing the shit out of a sizable guy who has wide shoulders and more or less looks like a gorilla reincarnated as a human being.

    In my professional opinion, the purest definition of boxing is a physically inferior boxer using skill to beat up a bigger and stronger man. Basically using skill to overcome physical disadvantages. Mauricio Herrera comes to mind.

    I really want to see Andre Ward vs Adonis Stevenson. Or Mayweather vs GGG.

      I would agree if the fight took place at the 154 lb weight class. Alvarez was drained and had no energy to maul Mayweather.

        Floyd toyed with him partially becuz of his skills the other partial is due to the fact that Canela was as green as Brussels sprouts!!

        I say in some spots Porter was having his way with Keith in their fight and that's just on the physical side minus the control of tempo side!

        Montiel when he fought the Welshman Mayweather himself.....Lee Selby!.
