No, it was the punch that knocked him down. It broke his orbital bone.

Bob Sapp CAN do what he says. Just a few years ago, he used to be trained by Bill Gillespie (former UW, then Seattle Seahawk strength coach) Bill currently hold the WABDL Masters world record drug free bench press record....800...age 45. Sapp has obviously decided to go the "other route". With that said, yes......375 lbs of muscle can easily close grip 595.

Bob Sapp vs The Smashing Machine Mark Kerr if he made a serious return what a fight.
As i have said Bob Sap kills.

Bullshit. Guy's who have to claim for this and that can't usually prove those claims. Guy's who have the real potential for those claims, just show how it is done. So simple. You can talk what ever you like, but only showing what you can do you can prove something...

Sapp's close grip isn't really a close grip press... more like an "intermediate" grip (shoulder width).

"Bob usually benches using a narrow grip. That's because with his relatively long arms, and massive triceps and delts, he can move more weight and gets more of an effect going narrow as against going wide with his grip."

Natural? He was suspened by the NFL for failing a drug test

Yeah, but was it pot or cocaine in his system or anabolics?

Tyson didn't challenge him. It was Sapp who challenged Tyson and Tyson wouldn't have stood a chance in an MMA match against him in his present old age. I personally believe the guy's strength claims. Anyone who has seen Sapp in person, like me, will realize that this guy is a freak of nature. Hell, his bones probably weight 150lbs, more than half the fruits who post here. The man is a freak, and for a guy who is almost 400lbs of bone and muscle, why is a near 600lb bench so unrealistic, especially with gear. I've seen videos of college football players sub250 deadlifting in the 750lb range and benching 400-500lb. add another 125lb and it doesn't seem that far fetched.

6'2" 320 TOPS...

He can probably bench 500 once on a good day....

He is way bigger than 6'2" 320. He was born that big.

PRIDE and WCW embellished his stats. They claim he is 6'5"-6'9" but in reality he is about 6'2" or 6'3"....NFL has him at 6'3" I think.

However the 380lbs is compoetly overblown....I doubt he has ever been over 330 in his life.

You clearly are another mma fag. Tyson would'a torn Sapp to pieces! I got that video and just by the way Tyson was behaving he already had Sapp beat! If some punk as skinny 160 pound jap fighter put Sapp to the floor and made him cry just from one punch to the face.. what do you think Tyson's punches will do to him?

Meltdown. He has to weigh in for his fights and be officially measured.

What fights? He never did an official weigh in infront of the cameras that I know of.

Bob Sapp can bench 595. I always thought you determined a Close Grip Bench Press with no more than 6 inches from wrist to wrist but since it is a training lift there are not really any official standards?

OK, at his biggest hes 6"4, 375lbs with abs (officially). He said that at his peak he could do:

close grip bench with no shirt - 595lbs
deadlift - 800+ for 3 reps

thats some serious fukkin weight, but is it accurate? He sure as hell has the size............

There's too many variables here.

I don't what he cycles or how good his genetics are.

I don't know how good his form is, if those are sloppy reps or regulation reps.

I can't even speculate.....

If i was at my non natural weight of 270 at 5,11 with 10 years of Boxing experience and a few years of ninjitsu and now juijitsu and was given 6 months to stretch and do some wrestling i would not be afraid to fight him.
