Genetic Freaks in Boxing

Usyk and Belly are two of the most skillful fighters in the sport and Belly holds huge physical advantages over almost all his opponents.

The Dosser might possess exceptional power but he's fought trash. Level of opposition matters.

Beterbiev hits extremely hard but he also lives and trains like a spartan and a lot of his physical strength and power comes from that. Very few train as hard as he does. And he's beating up opponents his size not one, two, three or four divisions heavier

How do you think genetic freak Teofimo does in his third weight class against say someone like Super Boots who is also a genetic freak but who holds all the physical advantages over him and is super fast, explosive and powerful for that weight class not 140 or 135? What round do you think Teofimo gets knocked out in?

 

If Teofimo and Loma were the same size instead of one being a natural 126 and one being a natural 140 there's only one winner and I can assure you it doesn't go the distance. But to be fair, Teofimo is very skilled and Loma is extremely athletically gifted himself. But without his huge size advantage and the power that accompanies that the physical freak stands zero chance.

One looks exactly the same at weigh ins as he does in the ring, the other looks like death

''Skinny Fimo now, but then you get the monster tomorrow''

''By tomorrow I'm going to look like a different man. A whole new man''

--Teofimo Lopez


Teo looking like he's just walked out of a concentration camp, his face all sucked in and deathly ill and literally slurring his words. Loma not skipping a single meal all week looking very healthy and no different on the scales to how he does on fight night.

Loma looked healthy on the scales at 126 for goodness sake

Now transplant Teofimo up to 147, his third weight class, and stick him in with the Teofimo genetic freak of that division (albeit obviously not near as accomplished), who even the best in that division Crawford and Spence who are both top 5 P4P want no part of. But this time Teofimo is the one giving away all the physical advantages against a much physically bigger and heavier opponent with a much longer reach and who is probably just as quick as him and who is a devastating puncher for that division against natural 147 pounders. Teofimo gets knocked spark out in a round or two.
