George groves has pricey's weaknesses

Your comment on khan was a joke right?

From what I remember of the weigh in Carl looks to be about 6 percent, george closer to 10 percent

 

its a posture thing. groves and price in particular hunch over with a curved upper back and arent in an optimal position to recieve force. carl on the other hand has great posture: straight back, chest up and chin down. this is why he can take the damage he can.

 

Bone density plays an important role in punch resistance.

 

Predictably, FB rides in to crap all over the thread.... :roll:

 

Haha yeah was a joke about khans...but the joke might be on me afterall. I m sure i seen an interview with him saying he was 3% body fat in camp before some fight a while back and he came across like he was bragging about it like khan does...that wasn't even on the scales. I say thats dangerous going into a 12 round fight, without being an expert on body fat. I would have said by looking at the two fighters on the scales the other day that george had the lower of the two body fat...but it's quite a hard thing to tell especially if you're not too clued up about it like me. I thought george looked dry...whereas froch looked too thin/smaller built but healthy with it.

 

There's no way khan was 3% body fat, look at professional bodybuilders, they are 3%. They get down to that level for competitions and stay there for about a day as it's not physically possible to maintain it healthily.

The dryness your talking about doesn't really have a lot to do with actual body-fat levels. look at the separations in each of their muscles, carls got a lot deeper cuts and defined separations.

 

:think:nono

No way this is true

Have a look at a side by side pic and its clear to see that Carl's BF % is a few points below Grove's. I'd estimate Carl is around 8-9% whilst Groves is about 13% or so

 

You can't judge a fighter on his physique.

 

Cheers London...i m sure there was a lot of people commenting on it at the time...he wasn't ever 3%, he said he was tho i m sure...think someone had been telling him wrong information tbf...and khan being khan thought it was another good reason why he would win the fight lol.

Big i know that was wrong...wasn't saying that george had the lower body fat...i knew by what london said that he never...but i said thats what it looked like to me...admittedly i dont know much about body fat...but knew it wasn't that helpful looking at how thin/dry someone is as london mentioned has mentioned.

 

Does carl usually look as good as that on the scales...he looked chiselled but also looked smaller framed than usual?? Am i just imagining that??

 

I dont agree it's low fitness or stamina as such...the real problem is...these guys are coming in the ring supremely fit but regardless of that when they get tagged that fitness/stamina goes out the window. Doesn't matter how fit they get them...not by that much anyway
