    Boxers You Seen IRL & Your Impression Of Them

    Ran by David Benavidez doing roadwork at the beach by my home earlier this week

    He’s quite tall for a Mexican and slimmer than I expected

    The big surprise he wasn’t running fast at all

      I generally find a lot of boxers are much slimmer than expected, especially outside of heavyweight

      I once saw Mike Tyson in an airport. I’m quite a bit taller than him anyway, but it’s kind of strange to see such an iconic larger than life figure with that reputation just pretty much looking like a regular size guy. Even though I already knew he’s not that tall etc. It’s still kind of strange


      I’ve stood next to Joseph Parker, I’m pretty sure he’s not the 6’4” he’s billed as.

        Your height means NOTHING without fighting skills. Just because you're taller doesn't mean you're a tough guy. You come off as a narcissist.

          im pretty sure alot of these guys add an inch or two in the fight game...theyve been doing it for awhile...they do it in basketball and football too

          i have a friend that used to train in mma...hes good friends with a guy thats been in bellator and on tv many times...hes brought him out to drink with him....that guy is listed as 5-11 170lbs most places...im a little over 6 ft and 190...hes def less body fat than me and more muscle....but ive stood right next to him and felt like i was towering over him

                    Those who say that Tyson is not that big. He is not tall but he has a thick neck and the size of his hands is crazy.

                    I saw Danny Garcia like 4 months ago and he looked much bigger than I expected.
