Would Wonderboy's Style be as effective with a bigger user?

[Daniel_8991]

Imagine if someone bigger( 6'2 - 6'3, ~205lbs ), like Rockhold or Weidman used Wonderboy's Style. Would it be less effective, since theydt probably be slower? Then you.have the increased reach and power. Do these factors all equalize, or is the style detrimental to a bigger guy? Discuss

PS Wonderboy's is about 6 feet tall, and 190lbs at most ))

True, but he seems kinda skinny, tho?

Raymond Daniels is 1.88 cm.

Checked his weightclass - it's only 170lb, not 185 or 205 like Weidman and Rocksalt

Okey the weight issue. Yeah I think he could still win fights.

But... I'm very sceptical Thompsons style actually works against elite strikers - Muay Thai fighters, Boxers.

You saw how the wrestler Woodley outboxed him in the striking exchanges...Just sayin. I think he would get folded by those guys. Willing to put money on it if such fights were to happen.

I think a Rockhold sized guy could do it, take a look at Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White, they are huge and do all the jumping spinning kicks. It's not like Wonderboy himself is small by any means, and he's not a particularly fast fighter either... he's actually quite slow, he's just got great positioning and awareness to do what he does.

Well if you're slower, it'd be harder, but you'd just need to make up for it with timing right?
