strickland, whittaker, weidman don't balloon up.Are we strictly talking about height and length here? Cause to me that is only 1 factor that entails size. Izzy might be tall be he is skinny, he doesn’t have the frame and muscle mass that other much larger fighters do. He also balloon up after weight in’s liek other fighters, meanwhile guys like Costa and Alex regain close to 20lbs come fight night.
So how can you say Alex is only slightly larger when he has close to 10-15 lbs on Izzy? I’m assuming you don’t know what a 10lb difference feels like when facing an equally skilled opponent?
costa is an anomaly and using him and alex as arguments on izzy not being outsized for the div is dishonest. izzy has been plying his comical reach advantage for years and the first fighter he couldn't handle in this way he lost emphatically to
