Carlos would take him down because that'd be the smarter play. There's also a power difference. I can't speak to the specifics, but obviously bigger = more power.Here's a follow up then. What about in strikers primarily who don't wrestle. For instance max Holloway vs Carlos condit. How would that go?
My cousin was ranked number two in my country at about 60 kilos. He beat the no 1 ranked guy 2 times. He moved up a couple of times, And lost, And said it was a big difference. He couldn't beat the good guys about two kilos up. He did cut quite a lot of weight even on same day weigh ins. After military service he couldn't handle the weightcut, And quit. This doesn't make me an expert, but it is What I know about it...That's interesting being that I'm currently training for my first amy fight in boxing and debating if I wanna cut weight or not since the weight classes are so close in boxing.
That would be a good fight, and I tend to agree that Max' speed would be enough to make it competitive but I don't see a scenario where Max finishes that fight. Or most any FW vs a WW.I tend to agree that lower weights have more skill. But would the skill of a featherweight(normal sized) be able to over come a Welterweight. I think max vs condit would be a great fight to gauge this since there both similar fighters.
Holloway's punches wouldn't faze Condit at all and all of Condit shots would hurt Max a lotHere's a follow up then. What about in strikers primarily who don't wrestle. For instance max Holloway vs Carlos condit. How would that go?
Fair on the lower weight classes, as a % may seem more significant. Then the weight difference results in more striking power and grappling capacity (matters more probably)Now I'm not talking mighty mouse vs Stipe weight difference. But more like 25 to 30 pounds up. For instance. Is it wildly impossible for Dominick Cruz to beat Conor McGregor? Or for Conor to beat woodley? How about Aldo vs Wonderboy? Conor is about 167-170 max. Woodley has said to walk around like 195 or so. If there was an open weight grand pre for all weight classes 170 and below only, could a bantamweight, featherweight, or lightweight take it?
Striking, not much. Grappling, pretty yes.Now I'm not talking mighty mouse vs Stipe weight difference. But more like 25 to 30 pounds up. For instance.

Mighty Mouse vs Cruz shows what a 10lb difference can make at the highest level.
Yes, that science is called 'Rumbleology"Yes but there is clean science that proves that at a certain point, weight cutting actually diminishes performance.
