    Why do muscular Brits fail at the highest level?

    Look at Joshua, Brook, Haye, and now Yarde. Oh and Bruno.

    These British brothers all had beach bodies that looked the part but when the going gets tough they fall like giant trees.

    Why do these guys spend so much time lifting weights and pumping iron instead of focusing on boxing and sparring?

    Is it their culture or something?

      I don't think it's just the Brits. Big muscles don't a good fighter make.
      That is universal.

      Plenty of fans get fooled by muscles alone.

          blown up muscles are a hindrance in any sport that relies heavily on stamina. Don't know why these Brits are so focused on looking like a bodybuilder, it must be for marketing to teenage fanboys.

              That list is full of world champions. A strange selection for evidence of Brits failing.

                  Agreed. This thread is pretty much bogus. They all had decent careers and have some good fighters on their resume.

                  Bruno was a tremendous fighter and went toe to toe with Tyson.

                    Lol gtfo. Bruno was a scared bytch in both Tyson fights and admitted it himself.

                    Muscle bound Brits just can’t make it to the level of American legends.
