Yes, but let's not pretend it's irrelevant. Getting banged over by a 200lb amateur even in sparring is significant. I don't recall Tyson, Ali, Larry Holmes ever getting put over by an amateur that weighed 40lbs less than them.....
Let's also not pretend it is fact. It's a rumour, which are false more often than not.
