The thing is this. Although size does make a slight difference when it comes to agility, depending on who your fighting and how much training, it may not make a difference at all.
You talking as if just because your small, you will be able to dip and duck out of the way of his punches. To be effectively parry, duck, and dodge punches it takes alot of muscle memory and natural athleticism no matter how big or small you are. Even some of your better boxers are not very good defensively and it's not by choice. Ricky Hatton for one, Ricardo mayorga, Tito Tinidad, ect.
Mahammed Ali was faster and more agile than most boxxers ever while a very small Aturro Gotti couldn't avoid a punchif he knew where it was coming from before hand.
Don't get me wrong, all the boxers I named that isn't known for defense are 10 times better than us at avoiding a punch, so how the hell do you expect any normal Taco Bell customer to be looking like Ali against Forman?
Sure Kimbo never had any previous training but he sure as hell has alot more street boxing experience, and was better than everyone else and I'm sure people didn't spend all that money on just some geek off the street they didn't feel has a chance to beat Kimbo. These dudes were bouncers and big guys who I'm sure kicked their share of ass in their day.

your probably a big dude, that thinks he can beat up every little guy you see.
think about this, people usually think that a bigger, thicker wider pitbull with the thickest necks would beat a thinner rangier, slender pitbull. when its actually its vice versa. because the thinner one's are more agile, tenacious and can fight all day. hence the term "HITTER"

While I would agree to a certain extent, a pitbull has big canine teeth and 600ls of pressure per square inch when they bite.
ALL OF THEM! They are made to fight and every aspect of their body is instictivly used for that purpose.
Humans have to train their bodies to be reflexivly agile and height, and strength are alot more of an advantage to Humans than a pitbull. Accually Pits are one of the strongest dogs period pound for pound. They rival any bull mastiff and rockwieller so it's really a bad comparison.
BTW, I've beaten smaller guys and bigger guys in my day but I would say I've had an easier time with smaller guys beause I was stronger.

i know it sounds corny, but its true as hell: a REAL fighter never underestimates anyone, including their self.

While I agree with you in theory, just like this guy said on Iron Ring, it takes a lot more than just heart to win. You really do need accual skill. PBF, Roy Jones, and other great boxers have underestimated plenty of opponents and still kicked ass reguardless. But I feel what your saying. I'm sure I could get my ass kicked by small dudes, but they better have some skill to go with that determination.
