    Pound for pound, Beterbiev is a brute. He’s got that man strength, able to push a fighter around and has a very strong base. He can’t move very well but appears to be a very strong man in the ring. Usyk too as he gives up so much size but never overpowered. He moves and conceives his energy but is a strong man.

    AJ seems like a guy who can lift heavy weights. Doesn’t make you a great fighter and there is evidence those gun muscles can make you gas earlier than a guy who isn’t interested in body building.

    Yup, and he was properly shocked. Ngannou was/is properly strong, that real functional strength that comes from rolling with people, not weights rooms.

    And I never once said you did!... but you posted a video of him "wrestling" with a bear and said Makhmudov and it's not even close. So you did use the video to support your statement even if you didn't actually say he was stronger than the bear. Seems a bit silly to argue when the post is there and I made a valid point about what the bear could actually do.

    AJ needs oxygen for all that muscle, same problem Frank Bruno had.
