    This would be better under modified rules that suit there frames and gas tanks, Sumo would be good as would some sort of 3 second pin to win. Under boxing rules these fights do not interest me at all, just a couple of amateurs so it would be good to make it more entertaining.

    Well, you know what they say, 'speed kills'.

    In the HB's case, the application of this maxim is that any attempt to keep up a sustained workrate equivalent to more than a gentle jog will likelier than not see him suffer a, well, mountain-sized coronary.

    I've seen worse people on a double end bag! Least he's hitting the target for the most part.

    Haftor and Eddie both have athletic backgrounds.

    Both are of similar age.

    Haftor has a 6 inch height advantage

    It would come down to who implemented the better training regime, and had the better training. No idea really on this one. Eddie would be able to train with more focus on the fight, because Haftor is still active in strongman.

    It would suck thats for sure as a spectacle.

    It'll come down to who doesn't gas the quickest, legit.

    Seen it before in white collar fights with big guys, it's usually the one who doesn't blow there gas tank in the first 2 minutes who wins.

    I reckon Eddie will go all guns blazing and tire himself out, he’ll have to with the height and reach differential.
