Weight classes exist to make sure that people of comparable skill are properly matched against each other. They do not exist to protect highly skilled fighters from much less skilled amateurs. If you want to argue Lee was not a fighter, we can't test that so we have to leave it at that. Im fine with that. If you want to argue a lighter man can't beat a much heavier man, or that a well rounded fighter can't easily destroy a one dimensional boxer... we can see the results of that test many times and it's painfully obvious what the answer is on that.
Tyson thinks Royce would have won. Couture destroyed Toney. Royce beat Akibono and many other much heavier fighters. The idea that a one dimensional boxer would stand a chance against a skilled MMA fighter (even a much lighter one) is pure 100% nonsense. In fact, that monumental amount of nonsense likely weighs more than the difference between Tyson and Royce or Tyson and Lee...
