Boxer's measurements, bicep size and bodyfat

Shannon the Cannon Briggs' arms are probably over 20 inches

Ali was quite lean in his 2 liston fights and all his 60's fights

There are some huge bodybuilder type boxers around club level often they dont get to the top. Heavy muscle mass has a big oxygen dept so your better off being skinny fat like Larry Holmes than tanked out like Vin Diesel and the Rock

its harder to keep throwing punches when your huge

 

Kid, size has nothing to do with it. Fighters were afraid of George Foreman. Foreman was 6'4 and 220-225 pounds. He was one of the hardest hitters in history and he was mean and angry. George was a monster and he certainly was big considering an average man is 5'9 and 185 pounds. Build and body fat and all of that has very little to do with a fighter's success. Skill matters more than size.

"...although only 6’1” Liston had the dimensions of a “super-heavyweight.” His 84” reach is tied for third longest in boxing history with Lennox Lewis. His fists are the largest of any heavyweight champion, 15” the size of ham hocks. Liston had a powerful shotgun jab to go along with his long reach, and he also possessed debilitating punching power with his powerful left hook and devastating uppercuts. Sonny had a strong chin, failing to last the distance only in the controversial Ali fights and towards the end of his career against Leotis Martin. His overall record of 50-4, 39 knockouts is quite good. He was a solid technician in the ring and one of the few heavyweight greats who fought well inside and outside."


David Tua was only 5'10" and 200 pounds when he stared fighting but his power was enough to KO any man.

Tyson was only 215 pounds when he KO'd the 6'6 250 pound Sammy Scaff in round one.

Also,Magomed Abdusalamov is 6'3" and 220-230 pounds today but is one of the hardest hitters in the heavyweight division. He is similar to Foreman. Yes these guys were monsters.

 

Boxers are not body builders. All these pretty boy actors with big muscles would tire easily and they are not built for strength and fighting. Those guys train for looks only. They would get pushed across the room by even a small fighter like Adrien Broner.

 

I think they take those biceps sizes unflexed at the sides. Roy's arms were a damn sight bigger than mine. Pretty boy floyds 13 measurement makes sense if they are down by his sides but they are probably closer to fifteen flexed.

 

Jones has big biceps.. Doesn't necessarily mean 20 inch arms. 3/4 of your arms is your tricep and he definitely had a lot more bicep. Around his HW fights I do think I remember his arms being around 16 inches?? Or could be wrong...
Also you have to realize the guys your mentioning are SOLID freakin muscle. Go look up a 150 pound body builder, and look how big there arms/ legs look. Some *big* people would look bigger if they dropped 20 pounds and there muscles showed some definition. This is why guys like Tyson, Jones, Mike Jones (not to mention he has no legs), Bradley, etc look huge.

 

They are probably not huge, but Roy's arms flexed are WAY over 15 inches.

In the avatar, my arms are 15 inches. I am 5'8''.

Here is Roy at 160, he is like 5'11''.

I'm telling you right this moment. Tyson is not 5'10. Forget what you heard, Tyson is shorter than what you heard. Lol.

 

Of course the take them flexed, he just has a lower bodyfay % then you.

It's boxing, not bodybuilding.

 

Ever so slightly gay.

 

Not much lower.
I dont think its two inches of arm fat. Go to my page click on my albums. Those shots are at 128 to 130 pounds and Floyd is my height and heavier.
