He's not "to small" he doesn't possess the skills that a shorter fighter with less reach would need to be successful.
Qwawi (Dwight Braxton) would have fun in today's market.
Having a size advantage means being able to use the attributes for success there's plenty of tall guys who fight small.
The lack of trainers who know how to teach "inside" techniques has been a problem for short men for close to 30 years now.
Marciano, Frazier, Tyson were taught how to use their attributes in a positive way, the size of the fight in the dog always wins over the size of the dog.

Qawi was a one off though, with a surprisingly decent reach. Apart from Griffin, i cant think of another lightheavy champ that short.
