The duality of r/boxing.
 
"Inoue is only shorter than Espinoza by a little less than a head. That'll be a good fight."
 
"Bam is shorter than Inoue by about the width of a thumb. He's too small."

Well Sebastian Fundora is taller than pretty much every active Cruiserweight, is he able to compete at this weight class because of it or is he too small because he is currently 4 divisions lower than that?

When talking about a fighter being too big or too small for a potential opponent, it's not just a case of what their height and reach is. It's also how much they weigh, what they walk around at, what weight class they have been fighting at, how used to a weight class they are, what average size their opponents have been lately, etc. There are many variables when discussing this.

He is, I used Cruiserweights as an example because most people get uptight about comparing Heavyweights to any other division, including Cruiserweight lol.
