Comments Thread For: Charles Martin Plans To Add Some Muscle For Joshua Defense

He should start worrying about his poor technical ability rather than muscle.

I don't think either should be fighting for a world title but hey, it's done now and at least it makes the fight something. They were similar in rankings before Fury was stripped and would have had to fight any way. They are both one another's biggest test Imo and I can't make a prediction. I like Martin as a character though and he says the right things. The fact he's coming over and wants to fight the biggest names is good enough for me. Good luck to both but I'm rooting for Martin in this one. Seeing Eddie Hearns golden boy get iced would be great to watch. I hope he's in the background shot when Martin KO's him too. That would be my GIF on this site

It's possible. You just have to have:
1.Really good genetics
2.Incredible discipline
3.Consistency

Sounds interesting. Have you done it or personally seen anyone do it?

Martin showing why he's one of the best in the game today. Never satisfied, always improving. Imagine if he improves one thing each year, he'll be the best HW of all time by year 2066.

LOL. But if he improved one thing every month maybe he'd be the be the best HW by 2021. That is an age old conundrum. Should you try to improve your weaknesses or spend your time improving your strengths?

I guess if you have great punching power but can't land against slick boxers then you need to spend time improving your footwork. Hello Canelo.

Meanwhile Khan spending all day lifting increasingly heavy weights attached to his neck.

Martin will win by stoppage just like he did with Glazkov

I also think Martin will pull of the upset Joshua is extremely overrated.

Joshua is still green. He is lightyears ahead of Martin.

I would be happy to put on 2 lbs of muscle in 10 weeks - please tell me how it is possible to put on 10lbs of muscle naturally .... in a year

These are professional athletes their job is to be trained and work out.Hes 6'5 a big guy and can fill out easily.Hes not overly muscular now, his frame could change if he goes that route. ...it would be easy for anyone /pro athlete to put on 10 pounds within weeks .He actually doesn't even need to gain weight to add size just add quality muscle for more explosive power, and he will probably gain a little weight since muscle weighs more than fat. Within a year that's nothing. I can fluctuate 20 pounds within a month EASILY...ive been at training along time now....why would you think gaining 10 pounds for a HW of 6'5 is a big deal?



No matter what or how in shape he is ....Joshua by K.o inside 5 rnds.

[KillaCamNZ]

10 pounds? Sure.

10 pounds of muscle? Don't think so.

[sicko]

Yeah it wouldn't hurt to add some muscles, he does look a bit soft physically

Hes going to knock joshua out probably. Joshua is such an overrated fighter, he just gets hype from mostly british fans.

I think you mean everyone but bias US fans...
