... AND THAT INCLUDES HEAVYWEIGHTS! Even though Tyson, Foreman, Liston and Frazier were kind of hefty looking (in their primes... not the fat Foreman of later years)... they didn't have the "Wrestler-Like" Builds of many of today's Heavyweights! There was some quote from Larry Holmes about how Boxers shouldn't do weight-training... BILL... COULD YOU HELP ME OUT HERE PLEASE? But... anyways... that's why the majority (if not all) of The Heavyweight Division SUCKS... they're either fat or built like Wrestlers/Bodybuilders... IT DOESN'T WORK! That's not a "BOXER'S BUILD"... which is why Jeff Lacy isn't anywhere near as good as he probably thought he was and many other people thought he was... his got a build like a Wrestler... but he is also a Super-Middleweight... DEAR OH DEAR! It's jus stupid how guys think that just because they're really built and bench press a lot... that automatically means they can beat up anyone... WRONG! If you wanna be a Boxer... you have to have Boxer's Build and Boxer's Skill! THOMAS HEARNS... I don't think he'd be very strong on the weights in the gym... but that lanky bastard could KNOCK YOU OUT (thanks to those longs arms and broad back)... BUT ALSO... because he was an AWESOME boxer! :cheeky4:
