Height and Weight disadvantages (single player)

So I'm 6'4 and a little over 300 pounds, which irl would give me a massive advantages over much lighter and shorter opponents when it comes to reach and punching power

But even though I'm way past heavyweight class, I feel like i'm forced to fight like im a much much lower weight class. It costs a lot more stamina for me to throw out a ton of combos and move around, but my punches don't hit any harder than someone who is 140 pounds, seeing as the game can't actually calculate your mass irl

And on top of that, most fighters I take on in career mode are under six foot, making body shots awkward to land. Instead I just usually play behind my jabs, only going in for an uppercut/hook whenever they choose to pressure me too hard, or when I forced them into a corner. I'm also forced to take full advantage of every inch that I have of play space since I have to back pedal and strafe around my opponent most of the time

I'm only playing on normal for now, since I got the game only a few days ago, and i've only lost one out of ten matches to points. So I know that i'm at least not completely horrible at the game, but I just wanted to know if these disadvantages are valid, or if there are any advantages to being heavier and taller that i'm just not aware of
