      I obv think i can win. Im smaller but i think i can out think him. Would you guys spar with your brother?
      yes why not.. just be sure to have a third person with you two.

      my brother was one of my first sparring parters, who was also the taller man

      but just hit the living piss out of his body.

      be careful because almost 25 % of the time leads to you being tackled (hence the need for a third person)

      you don't want to make it worse

        I've heard that the Norris brothers aren't doing very well in later life, and the rumor is that their dad put them through some hellacious battles in the gym, which could be the cause.

        If I were the Klitschko brothers, I'm not sure I would want to spar with the other, just because both are such huge punchers, and I'm sure they both have had a moment in their career where they were worried that they did permanent damage on their opponent (they have enough knockouts on their resume that I imagine this has happened at least once to both of them), that I would want to avoid doing that to my brother at all costs.

        As long as we were practicing technique and knew not to load up on punches, I wouldn't have a problem sparring my brother I don't think.

            I'm 5'6 144-147.

            My older bro is 190lbs. Younger is 250 but agile.

            Hell no I wouldn't spar with em. I'd scrap with most guys my size.

                start training w/ trainers if you aren't already

                you can get in shape there...

                you're age may determine your progression in the sport

                    that's good to hear man... the healing part, not the strained ligaments.

                    just be persistent with it, which you seem to be.

                    get back in the gym and start learning again, get your technique all fixed up
