    PBF most certainly benefited from his size advantage against Hatton and JMM. PBF out-muscled Hatton to combat the success of Hatton's pressure. Had he not been able to stand in with Hatton, for example when he couldn't against Castillo or ODH, he would not have had the success he did.

    And JMM? Give me a break. Anyone who thinks that fight's complexion would not have changed drastically had JMM been the same size is just fucking crazy and/or stupid.

    More proof that his size disadvantage was significant in the out-come of the fight.

    That pattern of the Marquez fight, rather than the result was determined by the weight. I don't think Marquez could have beaten Floyd at 130lb but it's an entirely different and more relevant fight there.

    Watching their punch output. The difference is there although there are exceptional fighters in all classes
