There are differences in ring size because there are differences in people size. Smaller fighters will usually want the smaller ring, unless you’re a heavily footwork oriented, distant management type of fighter, Sean O’Malley, Sugar Ray Leonard are two prime examples. Billy Joe Saunders vs Canelo, Canelo that A side wanted the smaller 18 foot ring but busy and his team demanded a 22 foot ring, and we all know what good it did him.
