    Janitor once stated that Bob Fitzsimmons is a naturally bigger man than Mike Tyson

    I think some the old timers, would rub there hands in glee at the thought of fighting the likes of Adamak and Chambers. Wow, they would be in a world of hurt.

    The thing is people look at big (PED enhanced) muscles and equate that to how hard and tough you are, some of the old guys might be smaller and less defined, but there mental strength is just on another level.

    There are a lot of different ways of weighing 225lbs and they do not all amount to the same thing.

    We should not assume for example that a light heavyweight who has bulked up to that weight is the physical equal of a fighter who has trained down to that weight.

    Watched this fight this morning. Chambers after over a years layoff , and still looking fleshy around the midriff, despite weighing a low 202lbs , fighting with a torn bicep ,comprehensively out boxed the number 4 rated heavyweight, using only his right hand.Another stinker verdict from three blind mice. Adamek lacks skill, defence, speed, and power. How low the division has sunk?
