When people talk about boxers strengths and weaknesses, and stats in general, with always hear about height, weight, reach, biceps, neck, even fist size - but does anybody recall ever hear discussions on a fighters head size?
Some fighters such as Mayweather seem to have pea sized heads while others have huge heads (Valuev being an extreme example).
This is something I've noticed loads of times when fighters go head to head at weigh ins. Is is something that makes a difference in fights? Is a fighter having a small head a big advantage and is having a large one a big disadvantage?
It makes sense when you think that a target for one fighter could be 25%+ bigger than the target for another fighter. I'd be really interested to hear what some of the fighters on here think about it.
Here are a few examples that come to mind:
