biggest X factor in boxing no one talks about

i read this in another forum





Ever watch a Tennis match? Some players play their best on hard court. Others play their best on grass, while others prefer clay ( Which slows down the game )

The dimensions of a tennis court are always the same. Its the surface that is different. In boxing its reversed. The surface is mostly the same, but the dimensions of the ring can be different.

Ring sizes can influence a fight almost as much as styles can.

The four main sizes are:

25 x 25

22 x 22

20 x 20

16 x 16

Take a fighter like Tunney for instance. In a 25 x 25 ring, I'd pick Tunney to decision Rocky Marciano, but in a 16 x 16 ring I take Rocky because Tunney would have less room to maneuver, and would likely get hit more often.

Here's how I see it:

25 x 25: Benefits the faster boxer, and tests stamina the most because the fighters have more ground to cover. Also the Neutral corner rule gives the fighter an extra second or so to recover from a knock down in a large ring. Who does it hurt the most? A big puncher with limited stamina.

16 x 16: Benefits the stronger and more durable punchers, or a top swarmer. These guys want to stand and fight. Who does it hurt the most? The slick boxers without a lot of power.

22 x 22: - Slight advantage to boxers.

20 x 20 - Slight advantage to punchers.

yeah, that kinda scks. The promoters pick the ring, so most likey its best suited to their fighter
