In the fight game, it’s not the size of the opponent but the heart and skills that make all the difference. Combat sports athletes like Demetrious Johnson consistently show that size isn’t everything. However, the debate rages on, especially as Jake Paul bulks up for his fight with Mike Tyson. Lennox Lewis, Tyson’s former opponent, recently weighed in, dismissing the notion that size can overpower skill, and shared his thoughts about the theory.

On Instagram, boxing legend Lennox Lewis dropped a video showing a buffed-up guy facing off against a smaller, less intimidating boxer. Spoiler alert: the smaller guy outshines his bigger opponent, proving once again that Lewis isn’t buying the size hype.

He pointed out that muscles might look scary, but if one doesn’t know how to box, it doesn’t mean much. He basically said that bullies count on their size to win before the fight even starts, but when they face someone with real skills, it’s a whole different game. Lewis added, lifting weights doesn’t make one a fighter, and he’d choose a trained boxer over a buffed-up newbie any day.

Fans flooded Lennox Lewis’s comments, backing his point that skills outweigh size. The video reinforced that Jake Paul will need top-notch skills, not just size, to take on Mike Tyson, one of the biggest boxers from the last era.
