Joe, it's not a
theory. I know what I am saying here.
I normally try not to mention again the fact I have a boxing background - by which I mean an
agonistic background (that is, not just hitting a punching bag).
So, I bring that about here only once again simply in order to emphasize and prove that it's not a
theory came out of delusional thinking, but from a past of
active boxing.
If the mere fact a guy is bigger than you would mean the bigger guy is
bound to win, then judging from the boxing categories a
welter weight should never fight with a
superwelter because there are about 8 pounds of difference between classes, and since size matters those 8 pounds would
dictate the outcome. After all, aren't boxing classes separating weights?
So if you weight 4 kilos more than me, you'd beat me automatically...
I can assure you that an experienced boxer who weights 135 pounds may beat up
badly, severely, in a no-contest and
unilateral serious beating whatever guy who is 250 pounds and has
no boxing experience. As a
fact, not as a
theory.
And equating experience, I can tell you I have seen
with my own eyes (you have to
trust me here) a
feather weight breaking the nose of middle weights during a sparring work out. This not to mention how many
welters I have seen sparring
successfully with heavy weights.
If you want to beat bigger guys, you have to
train in a manner consistent with that goal. If you never do, you never will. But if you do, you do.
It is not size what makes a difference -
only training methods make a difference (or a
gun...).
