"My thoughts on the old theory that lighter people absorb recoil better than heavier people is that if it were true, lightweight boxers would do well against heavy weights."

Phil, I've always thought the same thing. This 'wisdom' is usually mentioned by big guys who don't handle recoil well and who need a way to explain why someone like your daughter can do it better than them!

Cheers,
Bob

Agree with this..anyone ever been in the ring with someone 20-25% heavier knows those hits start taking their toll quickly...

The book of 1000 excuses comes to mind in regards to the recoil issue ..
