I don't know anything about TT's athletic ability, but many/most young men if they have average athletic ability or above are very capable of throwing a flurry of hurtful punches, kicks or blows, and if they fight as MMA it is way worse than boxing because of kicks, elbows and knees being allowed and no heavy padded gloves being used. With enough time to prepare I'd have to go with the bigger man if a big difference in size. These top players can obviously do many things well if they put their mind to it and are motivated enough. Didn't know Tru but googled him, he looked smaller but more athletic.
