    Shaw makes a decent living in strongman, better than the vast majority of boxers. With the crap that passes for talent nowadays on the US HW scene, had he gotten an itch for the sport as a younger man, who knows?

    That's a gross distortion of the points he was making.

    Not the point. Ticar is making it sound like strength supersedes anything. Therefore he should be able to take Joshuas title at any time

    Where did he state that raw physical strength meant everything for success in boxing?

    No punching power has nothing to do with benchpressing strength

    Youthful exuberance we've all been there.....when you don't yet have the breadth of life experience to have seen this theory play out or how all the academics and PhD sport trainers who have tried to bring this to combat sports and proving that when it comes to these sports you cannot replicate God given power and natural strength with muscles......punching power the elusive mystery of nature

    Disagree, bench press will add strength and muscles to your upper body and thus enable you to punch harder.
