WTF I weigh more than earnie shavers? And He's only 8 inches taller than me!? WTF?

[AlexKid]

Do they totally fabricate a fighters hieght weight and reach or something?

Earnie at any part of his career was way moe hench than I am, yet he is listed as weighing 210lbs and I weigh 255lbs

Im 70% body fat my abs and back muscles etc are almost visable, Earnie was probably about what 5% bodyfat?

Earnie shavers is 6 foot tall, I am 6 foot 1.

Yet shavers ass is x2 the size of mine, his core/midsection is about the same length and its much wider/thicker, his back muscles are more developed, his pecs are way more devoloped, his arms and legs are about the same as mine possibly slightly bigger, his shoulders wider, and I presume he has denser bones since he is african and they have strong bones.

My gut is much much bigger though.

WTF? That doesnt make any sence?

Do they make up stats to make the fighters seem bigger? Like is earnie shavers really 5 foot 7 or something?

WTF?

Shavers worked on a farm, built up his back and shoulders by bailing tons of hay over many years, lived off the land and trained in a gym

No MacDonalds, Dunkin Doughnuts, soda pops, or candy

Yes he has a ton of quality muscle, that should weigh ALOT!

He looks about 235lbs at least, that ass alone looks about 90lbs

I met Earnie in 2002......he was still very much well built; but I wouldn't have said that he was much taller than me at 5'9. 6 foot might have been stretching it a bit; although he didn't look too much shorter than Ali when they fought. Height can deteriorate with age a touch.

As for your comparison with physiques......I know plenty of 5'7 guys who weigh around 135Lbs; and none of them have a physique quite like Bruce Lee. its just life!!

I met Shavers and I am a little over 6'. He looked taller to me and he was older but still looked in great shape.

I think you have an unhealthy obsession with Earnie Shavers...

Appearance can be decieving, but they might be related.

Summing that up in one word...genetics.

And no shortage of hard work too. His Enter the Dragon physique was rather more impressive than what it had been in the mid 60s judging by photos from the time.

For a more 'boxing' comparison, I have several friends who weigh in the 15-16 stone region and are just under 6 foot tall. I'm sure none of their wives would say that their husbands have the physique of Mike Tyson. Ha ha

The thing is, he has alot more muscle development than me all over, and he weighs less, that is an absolute raping of the rules of physics It does not add up, something is wrong here.

Im not fat I have a very low body fat percentage.

His muscles are big and thick, mine are not, how could he possibly weigh less that me?

Its doesn't make sense!

Something is very odd!
