Damn look at Joshua and Mitchell

[Dark Lord Al]

People with a bit of flab around the mid rift are generally better at taking body shots then guys who are ripped

Yes people like Holyfield , Bruno , Wlad , Haye were all dropped multiple times with body shots because of their low body fat count.

Im not 100% sure but think its to do with certain positions around your body where there are little to no muscle where fat gives a bit of extra padding

Twat...

Holyfield was known for not liking body shots. Thats how Toney put him down

Also, I'm not on about body fat but the actual mass there. Compare his thin waist to Mitchells thicker trunk. Joshua has to take heavyweight power on his waist.

I forgot about the 41 year old Holyfield getting stopped with body shots for the only time in his career , silly me.

Funny, I recall Holyfield getting stopped because he fucked up his shoulder fighting Toney...but hey I mean it's not like he had just had surgery on that same left shoulder prior to the bout vs Toney.


Smaller waist means less area to land a flush shot on....whereas you have a waist like Butterbean that is a mighty large target

[Spicoli]

Can he fight much

[Dark Lord Al]

Well we will have to wait and see , however he is at least in great shape not a flabby bastard like many other British HW'S.

Dont worry we all know your knowlEdge of boxing starts and ends with the Klitschkos

Yeah... It must have been Holyfields own shoulder that threw him to the deck

Well we do know for certain Holyfield had surgery on his shoulder after the loss to Chris Byrd and then his excuses for looking poor vs Toney and Larry Donald were that his shoulder was still fucked up

But hey whatever you say, it's not like Holyfield was 42 when he fought those guys and I'm certain age had 0 to do with how you take a punch regardless of how in shape you are

No I clearly remember him saying that he just couldn't keep up with Toneys speed and that he couldn't pull the trigger. He said he could see what he needed to do but wasn't quick enough.

For max power, this was an old middleweight as well. Another fighter who moved up and beat good big men with skill, not size

[Spicoli]

He is a dead ringer in the face to a hulked up Demetrius Andrade . Certainly hope his legs are not as stiff in the ring as they are here. Be interesting to see him progress

[Max Power]

Fat definitely helps with punch resistance as would a thicker set waist for body shots. But I think Joshua's middle is still extremely strong and durable, I think it's the proportions of the rest of him that give a underwhelming appearance of his waist. Being tall he should be able to avoid too much body damage anyway if he develops into a technical fighter.

Fuck they both look strong though, forces to be reckoned with there. I wonder how they're going to cover that up come testing time lol

[Max Power]

Also I'd be surprised if Kev could make the LW limit anymore looking like that!

If that's a lightweight these days fuck me! lol
