Bruno was not fast to begin with ,his best days were not remotley when he fought Tyson in the rematch .What Brunos win over McCall DOES show is how being almost 250 would defeat a same level fighter and SUPPORT what im telling you , M.Tyson does NOT prove anything once again here .
. "Lewis got heavier later in he's career, so did Foreman, naturally because they were older. Lewis became a better fighter because he had Emanuel Steward. The same Steward that said the fluid boxing 226lb Lewis of the Olympics was hes ideal model of a heavyweight. Did you know sub 17stone Lewis never lost and was never floored? "
More B.S Lewis put on size bc he was having trouble knocking guys out easy like he should have (you would know this if you actually watched his early fights and around his 19th fight he switched trainers when failing to k.o Billups a small faded journyman ) I used to watch Lewis lift weights in the Pocono MT.s . Do you think that was coincidence in the early 90's when he was ADDING mass to improve himself ? SMH
Foreman had an ENTIRELY different build than his 70's years that HE TOOK OFF 10 years which did coincide with age however his added mass made him that much harder to hurt ,if you cant see that you are blind !
"Did you know sub 17stone Lewis never lost and was never floored? He came in at 17 for Mccall one, got stopped. Now he did get better under Steward defensively. He got heavier as he aged. But remember Rahman one. Came in heavy again, 250plus for that one. Looked bad before he got knocked out. He's performance didn't get better because of weight. In fact, the heavier he was the more susceptible to getting knocked out he was. . "
This is pure comedy right here ...Lewis got stopped bc Emmanual Steward was McCalls trainer and was waiting on that right counter ,nothing more . Lewis came in bigger and stronger WITH Steward for the rematch which he would have won under any circumstances .Rahman he clowned around with ,it was OBVIOUS he was going to win the rematch . Everything you stated makes no sense here other than under Steward he got better defensively .
"The fight where Holyfield defeated Bowe, the rematch, Holyfield came in at 218! Bowe was on the 240s again! See how this works? Bowe added nearly twenty pounds from fight one. So you want to use Holyfield as a good example of weight gain helping, but you don't like it when I, like right here, will use Bowe as an example of why weight gain won't help. The Bowe of the first fight was better than any other Bowe fight. Lighter, faster, fought at a high pace. "
Bowe was NOT fit 240 plus fighter ,he looked good in fight one bc Holyfield was around 205 . You can TRY and twist it any way you like ,Holyfield was the more SKILLED fighter and when he weighed 218 he WON ,when he weighed less he LOST ,see thats how this REALLY works .
" Look at round eleven. Look at the output. Punched the whole round in a way that oversized heavies only dream of, against a fighter who was still near he's prime, undefeated and fighting back. Joshua, or any fighter can weight what they want. Does it give them an advantage in taking shots? Nope. It's funny how you assumed I'd never been in there, but in there, and in gyms amongst good heavies from my teenage years with people like the Simms who ran the Lynn, who now work with Joshua, to Danny Williams and Henry Akinwande, to right up close with Dillian Whyte at Keddles, to getting punched for 20 years have shown me all the theory means nothing. Your chin is your chin. "
You still cant grasp that stamina comes from ACTUAL in ring experience and shots take stamina OUT of you ,exp fighters WOULD know this ,yet you dont and straw man arguments like the above are made !

Your chin is not your chin ,if that was the case fighters in even other weight classes wouldn't tryand rehydrate to a BIGGER size ...and they do so bc they KNOW being HEAVIER equals an advantage to take bigger shots and deliver them...this is boxing 101 !

" has David Price done since he decided to put on extra weight for durability "?. Gassing out so bad he gets stopped by low level journeymen. Did it help he's chin? Is he's power overwhelming everyone like he, himself, thought it would? Nope, it's a cardio game."
O.K now you're just getting ******ed ,i think ive wasted enough time here ,closing thoughts make a thread how Klitchko and co. do better at 225 ,see where that goes . lol
