Fat Witherspoon was awesome the night he was robbed against Mercer in '96.

I had it 7-3 for Spoon.

 

weight problems could be caused by a head trauma for example james toney

 

matt la tessier,jan molby,both fat soccer players both great soccer players

 

Toney has a burger between each round.

 

Tony Tubbs and Buster Mathis Sr were both overweight but both good technicians with reasonable handspeed and stamina.

 

The HW division is full of lard arses. Just look at Kevin Mcbride, FFS.

 

its obvious that only boxing division with fat fighters would be HW because it doesnt have an upper limit for weight.If a cruiser is fat, he is HW if LHW is fat he becomes CW etc.Logic statementThey are fat because they can be.Of course it wont bring them succes but divison principles doesnt prohibit to be fat

 

james toney had head trauma

 

Peak Tubbs actually had very fast handspeed, in '85 at 228 & 229lbs against Bonecrusher & Page. :bbb

 

Its not a body building contest

 

David Tua obviuosly has an excellent apetite for takeout.

 

John McDermott is overweight but can seem to fight for 12 rounds

 

Before MQ rules, rounds weren't counted by time. Pushing, tripping, grappling, etc were legal. Anytime someone went down, a round was called. That's why fights could last 80 rounds.

Once fights went to 15 rounds, they were the similar workrate as today.

To my point, go try to last 12 rounds with someone who is actively trying to knock you out. Its tough and not something you can do if you are out of shape.

I see it all the time in my gym. College kids, military personnel, all in descent shape, who get in the ring and are sucking wind in the second round and can't spar 3 rounds straight.

They all say the same thing "I can't believe how tired I am!" or "That is so much harder than it looks!"

:yep
