    To all the comments about Fedor. We are from Russia, that's why there are some mistakes in this video with the pronunciation. We've noted the mistakes you all mentioned. Next time we'll check everything twice! But as for Fedor's name, it's pronounced the Russian language way. Ok, we got it, people are used to hear the English version of it (with a wrong word stress etc.). From now on we'll stick to an English version of Russian names. Thanks for the feedback!

      There's also the issue of lower body fat percentages being really bad in terms of how they affect strength and endurance. The guy who is shredded is not going to be able to function optimally at that type of body composition without being on gear.
      Provided that they make weight, the guy who has more body fat at weigh in also most likely won't be in the process of recovering from an intense bout of dehydration, like a lot of fighters do to try and ensure that they're as big as possible without being disqualified.

    My high school wrestling teammate, Mike Russow, didn’t start fighting until his mid 30’s. I was there that night. Mike got his forearm broken in the first round and couldn’t use his wrestling. Got his jaw broken in the 2nd. Landed his shot in the 3rd. We all put at least a hundred on him as he went off at 5-1 underdog odds. We had a hell of a time later that night spending our winnings in Vegas.
    Don’t let the physique fool you, dude was crazy strong and 2 to 3 moves ahead in his head. I wish he’d of started earlier in the fight game.

      To be fully fair - Ruth played when "just being naturally good" was more valuable than almost any amount of training, because the training was so much less sophisticated.
      Which doesn't take anything away from Ruth, but he just had the technique down.

He has a chest the same size as the body builder types, but it looks smaller proportionally. Those seemingly quick jabs aren't really jabs, they are full power hooks. If you remove 3 inches of stomach, shoulder, and bicep bulk, you see the range of movement he actually has is MUCH greater.

He was like a real life ghost. His opponent who was local looked like a movie star Hercules. He had a large cheering section vs Casper's half dozen. When they shook hands at center ring, you could see the huge difference in size and shape. The bell rung and they met again at center. Within a nano second the ghost threw a roundhouse that came so quick and so hard, it nearly knocked Hercules's head off. He was out like a light before even hitting the canvas.
