David Haye was 3 stone lighter than Audley Harrison but look at the outcome, its whats in your heart that matters, not your belly my dear.
Slight difference, Haye is a good professional boxer, Harrison is a poor pudding of a boxer whereas Mason is a big, tough RL player who won't back down. Radford might beat him in a boxing match, but I always rely on the old saying that 'a good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un'

Also, wasn't Mason such a keen boxer that he planned on pursuing a professional boxing career? Laudable idea if it's for the Steve Prescott fund or other charity, but lunacy on Radford's part IMO. On the other hand, if Radford won, how hilarious.
Familiar pattern. Listing a whole heap of excuses in advance in case the result doesn't go your way. I do that too.

One would assume due to his relative lack of bulk he would be able to easily out manoeuvre his slow and hulking opponent and torment him with superior hand speed.

So why, in boxing, is being heavier classed as a weight "advantage"? And why, in boxing is being taller classed as a height "advantage"?

That's not answering the question. What do "height advantage" and "weight advantage" mean, as they are commonly used boxing terms, are they not? Mason is currently training with a boxing coach it says in the Aussie press today. Maybe it's on.

to answer the direct question as i know you like to drift to say the least, height advantage means he's taller and generally has a better punching angle, weight advantage means he's heavier so theoretically more weight behind the punch so punches harder, audley??????????????

So it's generally accepted that being taller and heavier gives you an advantage in boxing, and as the exception that proves the rule, Audley is gash. Mason is younger too, and has great footwork. Poor Radders. What the hell is he thinking?
