    the thing with people with gigantism is that the extra length in the muscle tissues of the bicep and tricep makes the muscle slack and thus weaker. though he is an athlete (of some sorts) so it's less noticable. however this and the fact that he's hardly ripped like the klitschko's would mean that it wouldn't be terribly high.

    By small time I meant recreational not professional, like the record breaking guys of 1000 lbs. I never claimed to be as strong as yates so dont get that point, but I have trained with amts and pro guys before, and they have got up way past 500lbs. I just saying that whilst frame does have a lot do with it, so does mass, and I recon he could bench a lot with some training. Guys like big show etc I bet they could have massive benches as well.

    A lot of people go on about how big the Klits are, and they say it like it is an unfair advantage. The laws of physics and biology say otherwise.

    Once a person gets past a certain point, their size is no longer an advantage and becomes a huge disadvantage. Which is why the heavyweight division has no upper limit. It doesn't need one, it is self-limiting.

    I don't know how much SNV can bench but isn't it strange that all the news about stonehendge began right after he went there for his first training camp!?

    pretty obvious most on here dont know much about boxing and even less about weight lifting..... they guy probably doesnt even do any weight training PERIOD. i know guys 200 pounds that cant do 145 pounds. Valueuv is 335 pounds of flesh....hes no monster no freak of power....he out weighs all his opponents by 100 pounds and rarely knocks anyone out for a real knockout..not some tko BS for his size.
    i bet the guy cant push up 300 pounds

    was no god of power, then explain how he KO'd the titanium chinned Otis Tisdale??
    It's not his fault that he usually wins by TKO, to put it simply if those fights weren't stopped then a lot of great boxers would be dead...do you want that you sadist?

    Stankin liar, you are one of those people who never been to a real gym and hears too many stories. You claim to know lots of people who can bench 250kgs like warmup? You know that is 550lbs right? That is serious weight even for people on steriods unless you go to a gym where most are professional weightlifters.

    You probably seen world record lifts at about 1,000 lbs and think 550lbs should be easy for regular meatheads. The world record lifts is done while using bench shirts which greatly improves what one can normally do while free benching in a gym. I doubt steroid meatheads is going into the gym all with benchshirts on just to workout on a little benching.

    Go home and take a nap, dreaming you can bench 440.

    Strength does not exactly equate power. We have no idea how much he can bench until he actually does it, who knows what his training consist of.

    no...but i can look at his body and tell everything i need to know
    he looks like hes been melting ....of course no one knows his bench, it was a general question of what we think....one guy says 500 pounds :rofl where as others say hes lucky to get his weight of 300 pounds....and i dont think he can do that much...doesnt matter though, its hypothetical, but looking at him, he doesnt do **** for bench presses or push ups, or his body would show it
