Thread: Weight-limit for heavyweights

I'm not buying "Fat" John's claim that he trained harder for this fight than for any other in his life. What was he doing, cycling through the McDonalds drive-thru?!

If you're Six foot and nineteen and a half stone you shouldn't be allowed to fight. I don't know how you could implement a weight-limit at heavyweight, as BMI obviously wouldn't work, perhaps percentage of body fat?

McDermott's idleness just ripped us all off.

Everybody is different, He has looked like that in fights before and shown good fitness, we didn't get a chance to see what his stamina was like. Can't expect every heavyweight to look like holyfield, klitschko etc

When I heard the result I was suprised, was he heavier than he was in other contests?

Yeah he was heavier than usual but not a massively like Danny Williams used to do fight to fight.

I hear what you are saying but despite how he looks he would beat 90% of the hws in britain

It might be that he trains hard and has the fitness but just doesn't eat right and puts fat on easier than the average person.
