According to this

[Salvatore Martinez]

fuck no, change the 375 to 275 and youve probably got it, still respectable for a boxer who doesnt focus on powerlifting.

You do know that anyone can post anything on WikiAnswers, right?

[Salvatore Martinez]

whats more impressive about Holyfield is the number of women he was able to impregnate.

I believe it he was a professional athlete. I've seen 18 year olds lift that much why couldn't a pro boxer.

i don't call that raw should be a t-shirt and shorts only. DAT'S what I DINK.

He IS wearing a t-shirt, mack. He has a singlet over top, that's all.

However, even though I know it's splitting (Asian pussy) hairs, there was zero pause. Still ... 715?! CRAZY.

I spoke with Coan about the lack of pause (he is the guy seated behind Mendelson's head calling the press) and he said he was just freaked out about this dude attempting so much, raw ... and was therefore scared out of his mind. This coming from, arguably, the greatest powerlifter who ever stood on a lifting platform, too.

I believe Kennelly tried to break the "record" but got stapled with less than seven. Of course, now that he's in prison, or whatever, I doubt he's ever going to come back to once again challenge the lift.

Oh, and there's no way Evander pressed 375 for 12. Just so some of you knitwits know.

Mendelson is the one on the left, right? Looks pretty good. Must be some massive guys those two.

That's correct. Gene Rychlak is the cat on the right. Another beast (although he is strictly a multi-ply presser, unlike Mendelson). I'd think Mendy weighs a good 350-370 there. He's been 385.

The man's pressing strength is otherworldly. Just on another level altogether. The very best pressers, raw (but heavily gassed), go between 550 and 650, mostly. This fucker went touch-and-go with well over seven! Freak.

Guy was in an auto accident and pushed the steering column right through the firewall upon impact!

lol, what 18 year olds have you seen bench nearly 4 plates for 12 reps?

[apply85]

evander took a ton of drugs to move up weight classes in boxing, he consulted a bodybuilder to do it, of course he can bench press a lot

funny how the "bodybuilder" who he consulted struggled with 4 plates for 4-5 reps yet a man who burned 6 million calories a day in the ring and took 1/4 of the drugs that the pro did did three times as many reps with almost the same weight.

[apply85]

who knows how big he got in the off season when he wasnt gonna get tested

"by the way is this still the best raw bench in the world?"...Yeah, but not for long 

[Hulkotron]

lol yeah.  I've never seen a single 18 year old who can come anywhere close to that, maybe I just work out at pussy gyms though.  375x12 is strong as hell.

[Anna Recksiek]

He had to make weight but he was naturally a lt heavy.
Did they even bother drug testing then? I heard stories of Tyson
Being jacked up on halo.

[apply85]

no he was not naturally heavy he was naturally skinny, you didn't see him when he was younger?

Who was the "bodybuilder"?

#375 x 12 would equal  mid-high #400's for a single. I don't believe it. It's either machine work or sports writer horseshit. #275 x 12 might be believable.

And not at the claimed #200.
