    I am thinking its a combo of suffering concusisons in football as well as his build. He is extremely heavy up top, skinny down low (I have met him a couple of times) and his knee(s) are bad. The slightest shot from a solid oppoenent rattles his brain which causes his knee(s) to buckle, and then you get the spaghetti legs. Plus his defense is subpar.

    As much as I wanted him to succeed as a fighter, I hope he takes a long vacation and considers using his criminal justice degree to provide for himself and his family, b/c I am thinking he is done as a serious contender, he is not getting any younger. He is real humble and a good dude but he just doesn't have it. Just my thoughs

    It has been proven that boxing is much worse for sustaining concusions.

    Your missing the point. He was in the top 25 in the nation as a high school football player (my homie went to school with him) and also played Division 1 ball as a linebacker, possibly the most roughest position. He started fighting at 25 yrs of age. I am pretty sure he already had some damage prior to fighting.

    Has nothing to do with it. You either have a Chin or you don't. Period. He has a Glass Jaw. He is an example of how ridiculous this "All the good heavyweights are in the NFL or the NBA"

    I suspect that most of these other NFL players have Glass Jaws just like he does. Boxing is not an easy sport.

    he is not a natural fighter...anyone who starts boxing in their 20s will never fare well against anyone who has been boxing since they were a kid

    He may be skinny from the knees down, but trust me you, there is nobody in the division who can squat more than Seth.

    I personally think he is far too tense and doesn't roll with shots very well. He gets tagged clean far too much. He has bad knees, and his conditioning is subpar... This guy was going to be KTFO eventually.

    I think a certain David Tua would have something to say about that.

    Some guys are just born with low punc reccistance. Getting hit Flush ins't a good recipe for being a good heavyweight..

    Squatting is not bodybuilding, its a fundamental exercise for strength.

    Seth has some of the strongest thighs in the heavyweight division, and I would bet money on it.
