    I know we have a laugh at Tony on here, but I wouldn't have said it to his face! He was built like a little tank.

    I'd have to disagree, he had a huge chest, shoulders, and arms ,and hit like a truck.

    Chuvalo was a physical specimen for example, he was my definition of a natural tank

    Galento was exactly the type of guy you don't want to mess up with. He's short, but stocky and powerfully built. I'm sure he was very strong man.

    So what? He was still a tank. You don't consider sumo wrestler a tank?

    No. A tank is a compact strong solid guy not a bunch of fat

    Sumo wrestlers are more powerfully built than boxers, they have a lot of muscles behind fat.

    Correct. Sumos and NFL linemen are the most powerfully built athletes in the world. They're like power lifters with fast twitch explosive muscles. No one is beating them in a contest of functional strength.

    It's like comparing a polar bear to a lion. The lion LOOKS more aesthetically pleasing and is indeed incredibly strong, flexible, and fast p4p, but despite all that blubber and fat a polar bear is far stronger.
