No power probably.So he cowers to 40 some odd pounds to fight ppl and still lose.

Yeah built up muscles from weights dont give punching power, natural bigness IE Tyson does though.

alot of Tyson's builtness came naturally.I think that was the reason he was so fast.It came with him,therefore it wasnt too much to hinder other things. Thats like ppl putting 26" inch rims on a expedition.It wont look all too right cause there too big.But if there made for the car threw the dealership,it will look like the right sizes. So what im trying to say Urango probably wasnt built for all those muscles to be fast and such.So he just got builtness out of it.

Yeah Tysons naturally powerfully built , some of Urangos has gotta be natural aswell but him adding to it through weight training isnt doing anything for him.
Holyfield bulking up did seem to help him in his career though so I guess its horses for courses.
Urango looks more like a bodybuilder then a boxer, puts me in mind of a MMA fighter.

I can see him getting tapped out in mma.

****! Just look at that! I guess this guy rips Vlad's ribs open! LOL!

Given all the opinions...Pac must be an exception...he's muscular as ****! But he's got what it takes to win...speed and power! Weird?

He's still rather skinny too.

Not really. Pac is very well defined but not overly muscled. Pacman has that bruce lee type of atheletic body that I have often seen with guys who do a lot of natural body building i.e. pullups, pushups, dips....etc.

I have worked out with some of these guys and while they are mostly not bulky they are generally very chiseled and defined but with lean builds. They also tend to have more flexibililty and are better over all athletes than many who lift a lot of weights or power lift.

big biceps are the worst place to build big muscle, it actually works against the power in the punch because its pulling back as u straighten your arm, and slows ur handspeed and stamina.
