Overly-muscled boxers

[Forza]

Post boxers that had too much bulky muscle on their frames that hurt them more than it helped

In which way did it hurt Berto? Briggs maybe, but it's not just the muscles he got also fatter

[jeffjoiner]

James Kirkland is the best active example, IMO.

true kirkland is muscled. Then again he is a midget for his weight class

Excessive Bulk restricts lateral movement, (in most cases) it's why I was picking Calzaghe to beat Lacy.

[sugersean15]

best example is heavy weight roy jones imo

Berto is fast as shit and has good power,he just has bad ring iq and no defense, nothin to do with his muscles

[Forza]

the problem with jones is he didn't have the lower body (core, thighs, legs) to match his upper body. He always had skinny little tooth pick legs, I guess that's what happens when you put muscle on a middle weight frame

i think when moving up in weight boxers should remember to add some muscle to lower body, where power comes from

[PivotPunch]

You're picking some fighters who have a lot of bulk but in which way did it hurt either of them? RJJ showed no signs of beeing slowed down by the muscles, Kirkland has great cardio and a good workrate despite his muscles, bradley could probably fight at a lower weight but in which way do the muscles hurt him he doesn't have problems with his cardio or movement

Jones was like big biceps and 0 legs.

i agree. That's hard muscle to put on though. Some guys have it naturally like marciano, tyson, frazier, tua. Short guys but with big man cores.
