Why does size matter?

:deal

 

Yeah. No way could any of these world class athletes put on muscle mass the way that millions of other people do--by lifting weights and consuming a ton of protein....

 

I asked my ex girlfriend the same question once...

Excellent post!:good

 

You'd need some proof of this.

 

Yes to catch them but if you had to put down 10k of your money I'm guessing you'd be betting that most take juice....

 

I thought the claim was ALL took juice?

why are you changing the claim at bet time?

 

In boxing over the last 20 or so years, getting around steroid testing is not much of a task at all.
There really hasn't been much testing at all in most of that time. Just basic pre-fight/post-fight testing at most. It's easy to pass competition day tests.

As recently as 1992 the WBC were saying they don't test for steroids at all.

Most of the testing has been for 'narcotics' and painkillers.

 

What are you talking about? I'm guessing most if not all took steroids.

 

I don't think the extra added weight really makes these fighters punch any harder. I mean did the likes of Lewis, Wlad, Foreman hit any harder weighing in the 240's and 250's really hit any harder then when they was in the 220's? I think not, it made them physically stronger no doubt but didn't really do anything for their punching power....

 

The main advantage of weight is simply that you weigh more and that will tire the opponent out, in clinches or in their efforts to avoid them.

If fighter X is 30 pounds heavier than fighter Y he doesn't need to be stronger than him, he doesn't need to be a harder puncher, he has the weight advantage anyway.

In fact, the smaller man could actually even be the slightly STRONGER man, but since he's got a heavier object in front of him, he'd almost certainly be depleted quicker.
