Can you point to me fights where a fighter was clearly smaller by a decent to a bigger fighter and beat him? I was thinking about the Loma-Rigo fight recently and remarked how Rigo looked like a child next to Loma.

There's plenty of examples (Tiger-Torres, Hoipkins-Tarver for example) but there's few instances of a great smaller man beating a great bigger man (I don't include Pacquaio-De La Hoya for example as I don't think Oscar is quite great and he was washed up).
Not counting weight drained B.S fights and guys being washed up or one like Marquez-Pacquaio where Pacquaio was bigger in 2012 but both were naturally the same weight basically) I think some examples of a great smaller man beating a great bigger man in (or very near to) their primes
Duran-Leonard I
Pacquaio-Barrera I
Griffith-Benvenutti
Harada-Jofre I & II (I was bogus but II was fair IMO)
Spinks-Holmes
