Sylvia didn't seem that impressive. I know he won but he didn't have much competition. The match was all hype based on the strongest man BS.
I guess that proves that being a juiced up neandrathal that lifts heavy things doesn't mean you fight, sorry getbig. That plus his pre fight diet consisted of 12 eggs for breakfast 3 lbs of bacon and candy for energy.(i'm not joking)
Your forgot to mention that Pud had very little training. That is the biggest factor above all else.
