Great Fighters with Terrible physiques

Mark Breland looked as if a gust of wind would knock him over, put a fat gut on him and a few flies and he'd pass for ethopian no problem. Seriously though, those skinny little arms couldn't half punch.

Weird aint it, but if u can punch u can punch!

I remember sitting down to watch Trinidad vs Thaim with my mates (non fans) and they were like "That guys (Thaim) solid he will crush this wimp"

I just smiled and awaited the inevitable beating Tito was about to administer

What exactly is the definition of a "good physique"?

Thats a good question, see some people saying skinny is a bad physique but they know thats not true. But it might be a common perception of people who don't watch boxing. I think generaly a bad physique would be short arms and quite a bit of body fat. I can't think of great fighters that carry much body fat in their prime.

Even short arms may have advantages. And some boxers that carry body fat may just have efficiant systems.

if you can give it and take it, physique means nothing. thing is alot of fighters want to look good and the infrequent manner in which boxers box now, lifting weights doesnt hurt much. doesnt help either. what helps is alot of matches, sparring, running, bagwork work. thats about it.
