Some of the middle weight, even lighter weights could beat the bigger guys. Maybe not dominate them, but they would damn sure win. Weight & size do make a difference, but when both are skilled it?s going to depend on who gets whom first. Even though the big guys have superior power, they flat don?t have the speed or agility of the smaller guys, making them just as badass.

Not all world top ranked fighters are the size of a house.

Military boxing, shoot fighting, etc, often mix weight classes. Small Military Bases go head to head, they may not be able to make all the weight classes, so they mix it up. Schools sometimes do the same thing. Quite often the lower weight class guys would beat much larger guys. They are trained, maybe not the level of WFC fighters, but trained enough to represent the USMC. Big guys, with skill, can and have been put down by much smaller guys.

The largest asset of the guys, besides being trained, is the frame of mind they are in while fighting. Hence why size isn?t that big of a deal. Clear mind, full attack mode but under control, with adrenalin under control, allows you to attack and defend properly. As soon as that concentration is broken, from a punch, kick, or whatever else, normally that is when the fight will end.
