My boxing aphorisms and maxims

Feel free to disagree but dont necessarily expect a response.
Please don't put one or two examples forward to counter any of them.
1 – Moving up a weight class to fight someone naturally bigger (they started in a higher weight class) puts you at a serious disadvantage.
2 – Moving up and fighting someone established at the higher weight class, but who didn’t start their career there, is still a major disadvantage but not as much.
3 – When moving up fighters who rely on aggression and/or power are at a bigger disadvantage than those who rely on speed and defence.
4 – Fighters will look to fight in the lowest weight class they possibly can.
5 – Fighters only voluntarily move up a weight class for the money.
6 – Losing to a fighter is better than not fighting them at all.
