    By eye, what struck you as the biggest disparity in size you've ever seen in a big fight below heavyweight?

    For me, two come to mind - Harrison-McCullough & Margarito-Pac

    Maxim-Robinson must take the cake.

    Another --- Monzon-Napoles. Also, Hopkins-De La Hoya.

    Pac v Margarito (also the height difference was pretty big).

    Robinson / LaMotta too

    Robinson was a welterweight.. LaMotta was a BIG middleweight (by the standards of the era, at least).

    Fuck yeah, Duran Barkley.

    A podgy little 5'7 lightweight against a solid 6'1 middleweight :lol:

    Disagree about Robinson and LaMotta though.

    Looked a similar size to me, in the fights I've seen. I think Ray grew into a decent sized middle. He had decent height and reach, and looked pretty much like an average size middle, especially for the era.

    Actually, I might be confused.. it may have been SRL who weighed in with silver dollars in his pockets (for the Lalonde fight maybe?), not SRR.
