    Oh boy, you should find that kid and tell him that he broke world record for juniors:
    https://www.powerlifting.sport/fileadmin/ipf/data/records/classic/men/records-classic-men-sj.pdf

    His performance is above "Elite" classification for adults:
    https://allaboutpowerlifting.com/wp...2011-Male-Lifter-Classification-Standards.pdf

    Btw, Artur's personal record (~350lbs) is almost "masters" standard for powerlifters, not bad for boxer.

    That is very strong for a boxer I agree. I witnessed an 18 year old 150 pound kid bench 405 first hand. Could have been less than 3 reps but it was 4 plates. Maybe he was on something but if youve ever been in a highschool weight room for football or wrestling seeing someone bench press 3/4 plates is not uncommon at all.

    Remember physical strenght does not equate into punching power.

    Andre ward was super strong in the clinch but wasn't a ko puncher

    Also the short long armed Mosley could bench press 300 yet he couldn't ko a hands down winky wright with his hardest punch.

    We could have lost Beterbiev if that **** had fallen in his chest/neck.

    Valuev is a good example too. Strong as a bear, but can't break an egg with a punch.

    Good for a boxer, but for people that lift it's not anything out of the ordinary, especially as it's just block bench with a shorter range of motion where he bounces the bar off the block.

    For comparison 154lbs guy not a pro, just a guy that goes to a gym, benching 410lbs, so he's a light middle like Norris, so Norris benching 350lbs isn't out of the realm of possibility.
