Did Shane Mosley really bench over 400 pounds in his prime?

    For a guy weighing like 150-155 pounds surely this is borderline 'wrong'..

    Lamon Brewster said something about Shane being able to lift around the same amount as him.

    I heard 300 pounds referenced several times, but never 400.

    Still, a 140 pound guy throwing up 300 pounds is ridiculous.

    I've heard 350 mentioned before, which doesn't seem too unreasonable for a juiced-up professional athlete walking around at about 160.

    400+ seems a bit much, and I'd take that with a pinch of salt unless there is reliable evidence to support it.

    Yeah, 400 at his walk-around weight would be absolutely phenomenal. As you guys say, 300 seems much more likely.

    Anybody know how to display a picture saved as a jpeg? I saw him this summer and he still looks to be in great shape.

    havent heard much on mosley with the bench, but i heard several times that terry norris did 350 pounds. norris was pretty much a life time junior middle , so its amazing even with him...he was freakishly strong, so who knows how many extra pounds were added to the story to make it a little sweeter, but 300 pounds would be alot

    350.

    He repp'd Boxing in this tournament thing where all the athletes get together and do a bunch of different track and field events. This was right before the Diaz fight after he had just beaten Delahoya in their first bout. I'd love to find the article, it was in an old KO mag I had.
