    They do look bigger, but he don`t punch with Foreman`s power and he couldn`t of hurt Ali.

    Real question is, how do they compare to TBA's biceps? As that's his next opponent for the coming years it seems.

    They keep talking about him becoming a two-weight champion, how is he going to be able to put 25 pounds on to do that when he's already that big?

    Wlad has 18'' biceps, and he's 6 inches taller than Yarde, I suppose Yarde is probably 16-16.5''.

    I'd say max 16.5 inches. He's 6 foot tall, and very cut so even 16 inches would look huge on 6 foot at that bodyfat.

    more than 17 inches at low bodyfat <6 foot and you're looking at local bodybuilding contests.

    He must walk around at 200 easy and dehydrates/cuts for 175.

    I don`t think that questions that important as none of those fighters are going to be as good as legends like Foster who was one of the hardest punchers in light heavy history but got blown away in around five rounds by Ali, the same would of happened to Yarde if he fought Ali or Foster in their era.

    Ali during the 60`s weighed between 210-215 pounds for certain bouts during the 70`s he was 5-10 pounds heavier for some fights, but his biceps were 15 inches, Ali was a heavyweight, this guy is extremely muscular for his weight, George Foreman who punched harder than any light heavyweight in history only had 15 inch biceps but weighed around 220 pounds and was an extremely strong heavyweight.

    My hidden 8-pac trumps that.
    (fingers crossed that no one turns up with a 10 pac)

    Ok I didn't comment on other boxers, or their ability. I simply commented on Yardi physical attributes. I have a history in bodybuilding so I know a thing or two about bodyfat and measurment.

    Yardie is not far from my frame, height and weight, medium wrist/build/ bone structure.

    I don't believe Foreman had 15 inch biceps, must have not been measured correctly or a typo in the 'tale of the tape' stats which happens often.

    At 6 foot 4 15 inches would look small. And Ali's bodyfat was never low enough to warrant high muscular definition.

    Tyson is a prime example of muscular/natural/ big frame. At 15 he was a beast already.

    Wilder is very low bodyfat, and his Physique looks huge at the top because his deltoids pop out at such low definition.

    Frazier sparked Foster in far quicker and even more brutal fashion than Ali later did.
