Old School Boxers Physique's Compared To Current Fighters Physique's.

[BennyST]

See? The only difference is in the choosing of the athletes. Yes, there are some today who are extraordinary body types but there were yesterday too.

Any evo BS is total wank and you have to be seriously daft to think evo happens across a few decades. Do you over your lifetime?

1890s-early 1900's Jim Jeffries



Early 1900s Jack Johnson



1920's Tiger Flowers



1960's Emile Griffith



just to name a few.

I read somewhere, I think it was George Foreman after his comeback, where he said that Rocky was responsible for the sudden popularity in "Body Beautiful" boxers. People just didn't take fighters serious unless they looked like Mr. Olympia. George on the other hand said that he had a perfect fighters body, which I could only guess was due to the extra padding he was hiding under his skin.

Eh his biceps are alittle big leading to a more compact but slower blow. other then that hes got a pretty decent boxers body.

strong full abs, decent upper chest, not too much extra weight causing a restriction of ROM in the lower chest, with strong back and shoulders.

almost like an over weight Jim jeffries.

Yeah, old Foreman was not ripped, but when he flexed his arms they were MASSIVE! A strong old but slow bull.
