    Serious question. I don't know much about lifting, but this seems crazy that Clenelo can do this. GGG is a pretty strong guy, so I'm wondering if he and most physically strong boxers around the weight can do this.

    thats a fighter at the top of his game. 135 lb chavez with a flashier defense. not more effective, but flashier.
    im not a big weights guy, but no, i dont think the average smw can toss around that type of weight...few lhw also, i would imagine.

    I know GGG can pull around a large Grown man like he is water skiing in the sand sprinting on the beach.Thats pretty impressive. Lets see if Canelo can do that at 38.

    That should help Canelo put Reynoso on his shoulders.

    That's 140kg without the bar (308lb).

    Not really that impressive by bodybuilding/weightlifting standards, but for a boxer that is more than most could squat for reps. To respond to OPs weird agenda-driven title, yes, it's very likely that Golovkin could squat that weight...

    For what it's worth, I'd be surprised if Canelo had trouble benching 140kg with the bar.

    Those are bumper plates. They all look like 45lb plates but in actuality it is 255lbs.
    1x45lbs bar
    2x45lbs bumper plates
    4x25lbs bumper plates
    2x10lbs bumper plates
