    They are all very strong boys the Alvarez Barragan brothers with Riogobert the eldest being the strongest.

    - Because he was 20 years old against Hatton. Not really all that bizarre to be significantly stronger at 30 than you were at 20.


    - Because hes not draining to make weight. That means his body is able to fill out more and he comes to the ring with more strength. This compounds with that stronger anyways due to his age.


    - Because in boxing, applying your strength effectively, is a skill. There are many strong fighters where their strength is borderline useless because they dont know how to use it.

    Hes obviously learned how to utilize it compared to when he was 20 years old.


    These all work together to describe the significant difference in strength, imo.

    I think Wlad was around 35 when he rag dolled Povetkin all over the place. Maybe Wlad is an exception, I would bet that 35 year old Wlad was stronger than 30 year old Wlad.

    Is it possible that Canelo becomes stronger than Beterbiev in a few years?

    Some people's bodies just react better to performance enhancing drugs than others, above the curve. Like Lance Armstrong was nothing special until he got on the juice and then destroyed everyone else who were also on the juice. Clenelo is just one of these with a hyper reaction to the roids.

    Canelo is 30 years old.

    By the time Pacquiao was 30 years old he was fighting in his 7th weight class.

    When Pacquiao was in his 5th, 6th, and 7th weight class he KO Lucero, TKo'd Barrera, KD Marquez three times, KO Morales, KO Diaz, KO Hatton.

    Canelo, was introduced to the benefits of adding Wild Boar to his diet, by Fury. How can you argue with the proven benefits of Mexican Beef and Wild Boar?

    Canelo is built like a fridge, he's obviously on the juice. He's faster than boxers 20 lbs lighter than him, and the heavier he grows the better his stamina gets. Come the **** on.

    Seeing Andy Ruiz put in that work and getting in that kind of a shape is motivating and inspiring. It makes me want to start upping the training myself in my personal life. If Andy Ruiz can transform himself into a beast in the gym putting in that kind of work, anyone can use this as fuel to motivate themselves to get in good shape.

    His muscles are actually showing? I would be impressed if Andy Ruiz Jr could get the muscles in his upper body to show.
