Again sometime take a look at the present crop of HWs.
you think there good fighters ?
Most are carrying bulk not hard muscle.

Once you have reached about 200lb or so, the increase in your punching power if any, is off set by the loss of mobilty and lack of stamina,
Also punch power is not a matter of you being big, its about timing and having the abilty to throw at the correct time, for example as your man is about to launch his blow at you.
His own momentom plus the affect of your well timed punch can be devastaing to even the biggest of men.

A prime example of my meaning is flyweight Jimmy Wilde who took on other fighters nearly half his weight again and knocked them silly.
The fighters of yesteryear fought on a regular basis, they fought because they were poor in most cases. and often the only way to put food on the table in the so called old times was to
beg, steal or learn to fight.

Today Thank goodness there are more and better ways of earning a living and many more sports to make your way in the world with.
Again today, and i include myself in this respect, we are soft by there standards. Hard times breeds hard men.
How many fighters today can feint or draw a fighters punch, They dont even do the basic things in boxing correct let alone learn how to use more advanced skills.

People talk about men being bigger and stronger.
Regardless of what era you are from, a 160lb fighter is still a 160lb fighter. Yes power training can increase your build, BUT then you would be fighting above 160lb So again if you were lucky, and did increase your punch power ( not that i think you would ) it would again be off set by you fighting in a different division.

Yes i supose we do make you laugh, because all here you laughed at can see your a man who knows his Boxing :-)
