eric...ideally, it would be nice to be able to factor in every detail into a fighter, but asking to have how every fighter does against a larger or smaller fighter compared to them being a larger or smaller fighter is pretty close to impossible. There are a few fighters that could be named in this equation, but, realistically, no one will go through every fighters career to see how they did in certain size matchups. Here's an example....Gerry Cooney did great against three small sized heavys and bad against three larger. Now, did he do good or bad because of his opponents talent or lack there of, or did his opponents do good or bad because of his large size? Now we would have to study those opponents on how they did against larger opponents and blah, blah, blah......There are just too many variables when trying to judge fighters on how they do against certain size opponents and we should just be satisfied in knowing that Gerry Cooney will beat the hell out of 1 and 2 rated fighters while turning into the Great White Chump against greater opponents as he did in real life.
