thanks hanzo.

mosley looks bigger around the torso and both are almost the same height shoulder to shoulder.

 

Damn, both are in prodigious shape

 

Both look fucking ripped. Should be a good fight

 

Amazing isn't it? They're as lean as competitive bodybuilders or fitness models and they don't even train or diet towards that end or do any of the crazy last minute manipulations that those guys do. Boxers really do train harder than any other athletes, IMO.

 

The size differance is apparent in the face-off pic.

 

Yup when you train that many hours a day you don't have to worry about diets and shit like that

 

mosley's tatt is goofy

 

What they say 30 is the new 20. Both them cats look as if they are in their 20's. I'll Holla 5000

 

Yeah that's why they often have to rehydrate more then 5 litres after a weigh-in... They wouldn't use stuff to get water out of their body prior to that like those bad body-builders... :nono:

 

I think it would be very interesting to see who the best-conditioned athletes were. Of course, different sports require different levels of conditioning & athleticism, with differing physiques. I'm not sure I would place Boxing at the absolute top of the tree, though --- but then, Boxers used to require significantly greater fitness than is today the case. I imagine a triathlete, for instance, hasn't changed much in this regard between 1910 & 2010.

 

they really do look good

 

back when they had the superstars competition on wide world of sports i recall holyfield lapping all the NBA, NFL, etc guys in the long distance race.

 

Yep.Mosley is a big 147.

 

I don't agree.

Boxing was basically a different sport, especially if you are talking about the early 1900's.

You would require compu-clinch instead of people counting punches. Of course stamina was important, but it was more about reserving it.

How many of those guys could have went 10-12 rounds throwing a 100+ punches per round. What about defending against that? The more you exert yourself the more tired you'll become.

Triathlons have not changed to the degree boxing has so it's not at all a fair comparison.

 

I was talking about 1910 in relation to triathletes though, not boxing.

 

I agree

 

But you said:

"Boxers used to require significantly greater fitness than is today the case"

 

The statement would still be right, though - here's the proof:

 

Yes, in any of a number of eras, but not necessarily all. Sorry for the admittedly-poor wording.

I should think, for instance, the fighters of the 30's, with twenty-rounds still on offer in some bouts & relatively little clinching (not unlike today), required greater fitness. No air-conned arenas, either.

 

Well, as you know, appearances & actual conditioning can fail to align. He certainly looks, & likely is, in tremendous shape. Whether he could go fifteen or twenty rounds in current condition, though, is probably an open-ended debate.

 

im real excited for this fight

WAR MOSLEY!

 

Boxing is probably the only sport with such a glorification of old-timers.

Why should they need better fitness back then, where the fuck did they get it from and why didn't they look fitter more often than not?

 

Black and white footage looks a lot more impressive. As simple as that.

 

that existed for other sports, too...

 

hence the legend of babe ruth ::

 

Has anyone else noticed Floyd has exceptionally long legs for his height?

 

His daddy apparently has! Look at his facial expression!
