Bodybuilder vs Pro Boxer

[Bjl12]

A bodybuilder no matter the size will always lose to someone who has decent boxing skills and training. They are always big for nothing, lack range of motion and will always gas out after 30 seconds.

Yeah this is basically spot on. As the boxer you just have to move early on and avoid their homerun shots. Throw a jab or two and pivot...bodybuilders condition themselves to do a LOT of one thing once or twice (massive weight). After that they are, as Paddy would say, fatigued

Let's see a bodybuilder play 3 sets against a professional tennis player.

For some reason they like to think that having big muscles means they are athletic and "warriors."

It's nice to see a little dose of reality administered.

Just look at Mariuzs Pudzianowski, he can't even fight despite being Former 5 Times World's Strongest Man.

You would think that is an obvious statement, but I've been around lots of delusional bodybuilders who insists otherwise.

Yeah my homey became a bodybuilder after he got beat up lol it’s all intimidation they know they can’t fight

They should teach Olympic lifters to box. Bodybuilding is worthless for fighting.

anthony joshua proves that ridiculous amounts of bodybuilding steroids can still give you a major advantage in boxing if you combine it with training

not sure if he will live to see 40 beofre his organs explode but it will be a rollercoaster til then

Thos is exactly what may get joshua knocked out by a more athletic heavyweight who he may be far more skilled than because of big muscles and lack of explosiveness becuase of those big muscles. Hopefully he slims down a bit because he is the goods and only is going to get better but he’s beatable without explosiveness although hes one of the most athletic bodybuilder types ive seen thus far.

The bodybuilders always get murdered by the boxers. Quite hilarious...

The one thing I tell people all the time is the one thing boxing has taught me is how to get punched in the face without panicking. Its a really underrated trait to possess lol.

Very true.. I think it just takes some time, just being comfortable and relaxed in the ring is something people dont understand and under value
