    The downside is carrying the extra weight will tire you out quicker....

    The upside is that forcing your smaller opponent to carry your heavy ass around tires him quicker.

    obviously Herol has never been in the ring with a big guy that knows how to clinch and tire out a smaller guy :lol:

    no wonder Herol hates Vladdy so much :rasta

    No way they could sustain that high level of muscle mass in their 40s without being on something. Especially when training in a cardio based sport. Stamina, speed, and power don't increase with age. It's the other way around.

    How are you going to win the round if you just clinch the entire time? You honestly think a prospect or green fighter could win fights by clinching for most of the round and then throwing a couple of punches?

    Two word's...

    Boxing. Politics.

    The vast majority of these guys put on high-quality muscle mass well before their 40s. Got anything else?


    PS - You'd be surprised what 40-yo 220-250lb athletes can do with the right training, nutrition, lifestyles, and caloric/protein intake, without steroids.

    Jesus, are you really this dense?

    And I'm not even talking about adding the possessive to "word"...

    To use your weight to weigh down an opponent in good condition you have to clinch more than a couple of times (average) to have any significant effect on a guys stamina. If it only took a couple of clinches to tire someone out then boxing would be a lot different. YOU are the one who has to explain themselves. You can't challenge the status quo of boxing and provide no evidence.

    *Says something controversial and then proceeds to call people dense for not agreeing 100% without providing any scenarios or evidence*

    I'm not saying that they were shrimps before they got older I'm saying that biologically it is very challenging to maintain that high level of muscle mass when in your late 30s and 40s. Not to mention not seeing any decrease in speed, stamina, etc.

    What right training, nutrition, lifestyle changes are you talking about? Any evidence for fighters who took on these so called "changes" when in their 30s/40s and saw an increase stamina, speed, power, etc.

    Along with the roided up size of today's hwts you have concurrently a dumbing down of boxing skill. Size is the No 1 "skill" sort of like the old WWE wrestlers.

    Would you care to name a few (or as many as you can) of these heavies who saw increased stamina, speed, power, and musculature in their 30s/40s?

    You probably haven't seen 10 heavyweight fights in the past 10 years, yet you continue to dumb down this forum with your baseless generalizations.
