So obviously, boxers are better at boxing, duh. Khabib vs Floyd, Stipe vs Tyson Fury, and other fights being thrown out, I think its silly, and the boxer will win 99 times out of 100. (if anyone disagrees, please explain in comments) My question is, would size advantages even out the playing field and even tip in favor of an MMA guy, and if so, how much of a size advantage would the MMA guy need? In the build up for MayMac, Dana and others kept saying how much bigger Conor was, and could his power give Floyd problems. Well, Floyd ate his punches like candy. Almost no effect it seemed like. So here are some hypothetical matchups. Who would win, how and why? All fights are open weight, boxing rules, 10 rounds, 3 min each. All fighters in their prime. 1. Manny Pacuiao vs Israel Adesanya 2. Canelo vs Rumble Johnson 3. GGG vs Anderson Silva 4. Roy Jones Jr vs Francis Ngannou 5. Floyd Mayweather vs Fedor -
Hey just joined a few days ago. This is my first post. Im finding the game very interesting and these forums very helpful. Sorry if the question has already been asked and answered but have not seen this specific thread yet. How significant are weight advantages in this game? How much difference does weight cutting really make? For example, say two fighters at 170 have even skills, even physical attributes, same height, but one fighter shows up at 165, and the other cuts from 183 or so. Would the 183lbs fighter get a boost in strength? Would the size exhaust the smaller fighter in clinches and while the bigger fighter has top control? Will he have more punching power? And, on the flip side, how much does the weight cut drain a fighters stamina? Does the weight cut hurt a fighters ability to take a punch? If the smaller fighter has better grappling skills, would the weight disadvantage even the playing field? Thanks for any help and insight!
