Cant believe he had so small arms.
-
Tall gentlemen there.
These days everyone seem to be hobbits - why is that ???
-
Sonny liston had 17.5 inch arms? lol
-
they measured their ams unflexed down by their sides,
-
Those 15" arms would have broken your jaw before you knew what was even happening

You can see the difference -
.
-
Not flexed and probably straight on sides, he probably had 17 inchers.
Many said Ali was a perfect specimen, sight to be seen in his prime, and Liston was said to have enormous muscularity for a boxer (this picture doesn't do him justice) probably 18 inchers if he ever cared to pum up.

so yours would measure 10 inches then, with a 40 inch waist fatso :D

Exactly. Also, Ali had super fast hands for a heavyweight.

Every measurement of his was tiny. That said, you wouldn't have lasted 5 seconds in the round with Ali PRE-1980.

sure thing pisstopher sure thing

What is your IQ? I always need to hide my eyes from the dullness of what you write.
You reckon anyone on this forum would last past 5 seconds with Ali in his last two fights! ;D

Brutal "no fly list" name
-
liston listed 17.5

sure thing pisstopher sure thing
Are you saying I'm wrong?

Sure thing Pisstopher

Skinny necks :/

Arm length just as important as upper arm size in boxing:
Liston had famously long arms:
-Ali 2 inches taller in height
- Yet Liston 2 inches longer in reach

fingertip to finger tip is normally your height or thereabouts
three times around your forehead is your height as well ;)

Man I was so getting into that fight but then I got totally distracted by Shemp refereeing

Tysons were only about 16 :/

no way? his chest seemed massive. wasnt he 220-230lbs and under 5'10''?

Actually, it's right, prime Tyson was only a 16" arm. Later, when he was around #230, he moved up into the 17" range. Holyfield was in the same range. So was Lewis -

George Foreman and Ken Norton had 18 inch arms easy. Norton was an absolute beast of massive muscularity.
-
They don't flex the arm for the measurement in boxing. That is a recent thing. The chest they didn't flex the lats. Many times they didn't even actually tape anything. They just wrote what they thought.
-
Liston was an underrated champion - had one of the best jabs ever- maybe the BEST -
Should of had title shot earlier than he did, Marciano said he could of beaten Liston- I don't know, the Rock was tough, and he DID BEAT Louis, who at 37 was still a great, great champion- Marciano surviving that jab ......
-
These boxers came from eras when men were actually men. They didn't care nearly as much about what they looked like and certainly didn't care about how many inches their biceps were. Now men do things like shave their bodies and wear yoga pants in the gym.
-
how about the measurements of Mike Hercules Weaver ???
-
Supposedly,Sonny's party piece was to walk up to a large door,grasp it by its sides and then casually shrug it off its hinges.
-
Schmoes worried about mens bicep size ::)
-
Those 15" arms would have broken your jaw before you knew what was even happening
But on Getbig if you have muscle size and biceps peak like Ronnie Coleman you are the worlds ultimate fighter, ready for the ring and any street fight.

You punk bitches talkin shit would get knocked the fuck out. Hiding behind your computer screens. He knocked 5 guys out in one night. How many guys have you knocked out in you fuckin life?! Yeah. None. Thought so.
-
People have NO IDEA what a trained professional boxer is capable of - even a trained, decent amateur, there capabilities are unreal when compared to the average rat in society
Someone like Ali or Liston are literally Godzilla- could walk through ANYBODY in ANY BAR - ANYWHERE ! Their bodies were complete weapons, arm size doesn't matter much, besides the average man has what 13 '' or 14'' inch arms -? Meaning these guys are still big by modern standards
Somebody like Mayweather, a skinny 140 lb. guy would ANNHIALATE anybody on GB - he probably has 13'' arms
Muscle size doesn't always equal being a BEAST

frank bruno...lean and big in prime..

I think MMA is vastly superior to boxing. It's an interesting comparison that barely ever gets talked about. What are your thoughts?
-
2 different animals for sure. Take a world champ MMA practitioner and they destroy a world champ boxer in a no holds barred fight- same body weight etc...
I think the MMA fighter is just that - a BETTER FIGHTER overall, but the trained boxer is truly a practitioner of the "sweet science"
The MMA fighter is more complete no doubt, but in a street fight, the stand up is going to be HUGE important, you don't want to be on the ground in a street fight with a possible multiple attackers situation- being good with hands AND feet ( MMA) can be a deadly combination in a street fight too
Just my 2 cents friend
-

So true
