Size Matter ?!?

Weight classes clearly exist for a reason. But it''s not the same Floyd he's 4 years older, it was also in a later round and he didn't even score a knockdown against Conor. That stoppage would have been absurd in a real match.

Conor would have been KO'd stiff if the ref didn't save his life . What were you watching?

Mayweather couldn't finish Conor despite Conor being gassed. In the 10th round.
The Paul EXHIBITION was 8 rounds.
Dustin finished Conor. That's the difference.

Dustin hits way harder than fraud Mayweather.

Dustin outweighs Mayweather by a noticeable amount. Floyd weighed in at 155lbs for this exhibition fight which is the heaviest he's ever weighed in at. This means that 155lbs is his walk around weight which is 30lbs lower than Dustin. For Dustin's sake he should generate more power than Floyd due to the weight difference.
 
We need to take size into consideration when determining who is the GOAT.
Remember that being 5.3 140 is as disadvantageous when it comes to fighting than being 6'8 300 pounds when it comes to running marathon, and that the fact midgets can still win titles in fighting while giants can't in running is because of the very dangerous nature of fighting : if a 5.3 130 pound guy shows up against a 6'5 260 pound guy, he might die, and the promotion will have very bad problems. If the giant shows up at a marathon, he just loses, and goes back home healthy.
There are thousands of boxers who could beat Floyd, including amateurs.
They are HS kids that could outwrestle DJ.
Only sport where you still have a little chance as a midget would be BJJ, and even then it's always almost LHW or HWs who win titles in Absolute.
 
Of course size matters, it's just not a guarantee just like any other attribute you take into account.

Um. Floyd weighd 154 for the Conor match and Dustin weighd 155 for the last Conor match and 145 before that.



I don't think you math is right.
My mind is not changed.
Thanks for trying though.

Maybe eventually, he was being dominated, but he wasn't in any real imminent danger at that time. If a ref stopped a real bout under those circumstances it would be insanely controversial. But no one cared because everyone knew it wasn't a real bout.

You're aware that fighters REHYDRATE after the fucking weigh ins right? Floyd is the exception since he barely cuts any weight whereas Dustin has to cut at least 20lbs.

Its hilarious that you think Floyd doesn't cut weight and rehydrate.

Floyd wouldn't even reveal what his ring weight was in the pacman fight.

Wonder how much Floyd outweighed Tenshin by?

Not just boxers, any combat sport really. It's simple mathematics, most guys are going to be around 5'9 and in the 150 to 170lbs range. More people = more talent.

the little guys have good tricks and that's it, a heavyweight boxer would crush any other class champion.

Power,Size>>> skill

Explain why he weighed in at 155 when the contracted weight was 160lbs? If he wanted to cut the minimum amount of weight possible then he would've weighed 160lbs or 159lbs at best, instead he was 155. Even when he fought at Super Welterweight (154lbs) he never weighed in at the limit, sometimes he was at 149lbs. Yeah not shit he weighed more than Tenshin, Tenshin fights at 125 which is 30lbs lower than Floyd's walking weight, hence why there was such a power discrepancy. It's a known fact in the boxing world that Floyd isn't a big weight cutter, just look at him.
 
It's also age and how much Paul pushed in the fight. Mcgregor wasn't really out; he just ran out of gas when he blew his wad trying to finish Floyd. Paul never tried to push the pace or tried to compete skill for skill with Floyd. He doesn't have the confidence Mcgregor had. The ref also allowed holding. The Mcgregor ref didn't allow any holding. With that said; as much as Floyd's skills diminished. Mcgregor's skills went down the same. A rematch will still look the same.
 
Yes size matters but please don't think it's just size...

While we may not respect logan dude has literally been training for years in a sport... living with coaches... ring in his yard... travelling to be coached by the best regularly... and is a pretty good athlete.

I'm arguing only skills/talent not who would actually win in a fight. The average/smaller sized guys have more tricks since you can find exceptional talent from a bigger talent pool. It's more likely you'll find great talent from a group of 10,000 compared to a group of 1,000. That being said, Heavyweights rule and is the true championship.
