Lists Please!!!!!

Out of curiosity, what's it like on the short bus? The point was that small fighters can overcome weight just as well as a heavyweight can. BTW you stated that willard was overweight for his fight, where in all of hell did you get an idea like that. The guy is descriped for the fight as being lean and muscular and I definately get that impression watching the video.

 

Well, when he was still a bit young he was a lean 225lbs for Moran. After sitting 3 years on the title, you can be pretty sure that he had not gained those 20 lbs by lifting weights, but rather by eating, drinking and partying with his title belt.


The description of him was ridiculous really. He was described as some sort of monster at the peak of his powers, while he was 37 years old, inactive for 3 years, over his best weight and never had much boxing skill to start with.


But of course, with the limited availability of information back then, hardly anyone would know whether it's true or not, so he could make all sorts of these statements in his autobiography and everybody would eat it like candy, enhancing his legend. The films only came out decades later, at watchable speed.

 

For a 6'6 dude to weigh 245 is like a 6' dude weighing 200, its pretty freakin normal.

No, I didn't, it called him akward, old, slow and not very skilled, but it said he was lean and muscular. Also, watch the video, see how skinny he looks.
