[QUOTE="Teedub, post: 360726, member: 4257"] Kell Brook did well last night, good win against a former champ. Anthony Joshua of course did well, his second pro-fight though so against a bum. However, he still looks too bulky for me. I said this on FB and I got a lot of stick about how his massive arms meant he punches hard. [Facepalm] I couldn't be arsed to educate, but I should really. Muscles require oxygen, and boxing is essentially a tough endurance sport, with a dash of flash brilliance. Therefore, you don't want unnecessary muscle, that isn't functional to that particular sport, as it is a hindrance. There's talk of Hopkins fighting Mayweather. Absolutely crazy, but I'd love to see it. Hopkins is an extraordinary human being, despite him renaming himself 'The Alien' (lol). However, it would be a supremely technical, and thus boring, fight. Also, Hopkins would have a huge weight advantage once rehydrated and I doubt Floyd would take the fight, why would he? [/QUOTE]
