    I used to fight like that. It was a deadly technique, until I got to high school.

    More muscle mass, denser bones, thicker tendons, longer levers. Don't think there's much more to it than that.

    The same biological reason that you don't see any flyweights in the NFL.

    A couple boxers who sparred with both Povetkin and GGG said GGG hits noticeably harder. I'm not a GGG nutmolester either.

    I kickboxed at middleweight (just local amateur stuff nothing serious) and would spar heavyweights occasionally. Even blocking punches from heavyweights you're taking damage. It feels like someone is throwing f*cking cinder blocks at your arms.

    He's right! Everybody should try this!

    Especially the OP. He would get new insights, I believe.

    Doing this barefoot works better, btw.
