I hope this doesn't get wastelanded. I'm not trolling or discrediting the smaller fighters, I am sincerely thinking and trying to broaden my horizon. I know some people might get angry but oh well...
So, p4p is based on neutralizing the size difference, right? It's made so that we can speculate who is the most skilled in fighting, right? But why only the size between weight classes is neutralized? Why is it acceptable to say that Mighty Mouse is better fighter than Stipe Miocic because Mighty Mouse would beat Stipe if Mighty Mouse was
6'4/245 lb., but it's not fine to say that Nick Diaz is better fighter than Georges St. Pierre because Nick Diaz would beat GSP if Nick Diaz was as strong, quick and coordinated as GSP? Isn't fighting eventually about who can beat who, not about who can throw nicer combinations?
Everything in fighting is based on genetics, size also. Being naturally 6'5, 230 lb. ripped is a gift just like being extremely flexible or coordinated. Size isn't anything more "unfair" than being gifted in any other department. Is Mayweather unfair because he is gifted with better fighting IQ than his opponents?
