What did Larry Holmes do better than Muhammad Ali?

I have done, presumably, far less gruelling fitness & diet routines than these champion athletes & looked a lot better physically (obviously not in as good a shape performance-wise). How to explain that?

 

I already did and this is very simple, if you eat too much you get fat or you look the same it’s that simple! they were boxers not fitness models they aren’t touching a weight or peeling down for beach photoshoots… though today at the weigh ins with everyone doing bodybuilder poses I understand the misunderstanding some have lol.

 

Eating too much but Joe could undertake the Fight of the Century?

Eating too much impacts more than your appearance.

 

I don’t understand your point? I think it’s very simple - if you have too much body fat you look a certain way? What don’t you get Ney?

 

The answer contains three letters.

 

Body punching is something I think he did better? A thing he did a lot was press on a guys head after a jab, go up with a right, then go down, feint and mix both up using the left to steer them around. Looked obnoxious to be on the end of.

 

Seems to me you’re implying you can over-eat to the point you’re perceptibly flabbier without any compromise in performance.

 

Then you’re over-reading into it, I couldn’t have made it simpler it’s really not rocket science, I don’t actually know how you got that from what I said LOL.

 

If you eat too much you will look fatter but may suffer no dip in performance is that what you’re saying?

 

I have never said that?

 

Okay.

 

Stop feeding the troll.

 

He isn't trolling though. Holmes had bf % to spare, he could simply handle the extra fat alright. In 1975 he weighed 205 lbs and still looked like had pounds to lose if he so wished, fully mature physically by then too.

 

Yes, body punching is a good one i forgot, arguably the best thing he did better than Ali.

 

Zip?
