Rio Ferdinand Boxing?

Guessing not at 170kg+ BW.

Just seems you are a feeder.

Becca does not eat very much for the size she is.

matthewvc said:Lol how can anyone maintain 170kg eating very little. If she was seriously ill with hypothyroidism and bed ridden all day I could possibly believe (at the edge of credulity), but this is an active and extremely strong woman training hard daily. Is she some kind of physics anomaly creating energy from nothing and violating the 1st law of thermodynamics?

We are not all created equally or the same, a human does not = a human. How can a polar bear, that's 200kg+ and pregnant, survive for as long as a year without eating a single thing?

Complete load of bo***cks. Firstly, everybody knows heavyweights in Britain were nigh on none existent back then and I'd been national champion in two other sports so why not? If you go into a sport thinking you can do f**k all, that's what will happen. I never said id be British champion, I didn't know if I would even do boxing, I was just starting out. Only thing I said was I thought it was possible.
I was probably talking about Joshua's opponent but Joshua was not at all impressive to me at first as I first seen him in the Olympic finals that he lost badly but got gifted (loads of other people have said the same, including top pro's). Never said he couldn't be world champion and he's came on massively since then. Boxing didn't hurt my shoulder (hack squats?), I broke my foot but I stopped because I found the constant repetition work very boring.
It seems people think boxing is all about skill and how many years you have been doing it but fitness and will to win play at least as big a roll. Natural reflexes make a difference too.

Brilliant. You can't tell the difference between species. Or hibernation in bears and being a human.
Do you remember when you said your main motivation for getting to 90kg was health.
But she is healthy - because Geoff Capes.

Paul you know I like you. I think you are doing awesome things with Becca and you are quite a strong chap yourself with an iron grip.
However if you think even British level is easy, you're crazy.
Big Jay (Urses) does unlicensed boxing, if I'm correct? Most likely he's hard as nails. Would he beat a top Brit pro in a 12 round fight? I would seriously doubt it.
Now Paul if you were a natural talent and took It seriously, you could maybe do well. But boxing is a tough, tough sport.
Did any of you guys see the fun spar between big Ed and Hughie Fury.
Ed could probably walk through any other ordinary man, no sweat. But one solid jab from fury had this monsters head snap back.
Rio Is a great athlete. I would bet my testicles he is a greater athlete Than anyone posting on here. But at his advanced age, he will struggle. Though he looks like a guy that could hit you a punch.

Never thought easy, even then when most british heavyweights were a much lower standard and virtually all out of shape my plan for doing well involved countless hours of working hard as hell. Now British standard of heavyweights is much better, heavyweights in general.

PaulSavage said:
I obviously understand bears and humans arnt the same species. Some humans vs some other humans might as well not be the same species though, that's the point.
Once again I never said that, never even said I would truly ever weigh under 90kg, just dehydrated for a weigh in. Me trying to get to 90kg was definitely not healthy, pretty much starving myself other than cheats, almost no carbs, 3 hours walking a day plus weights.

"shortandmighty said:You have got some impressive grip strength. There is something that is I am curious about, why at 6'2" and with all the work you have put in are you wanting to drop down to U90? If I was you're height I would be focusing on getting as strong as I could at either 105's or opens.
It's mainly for health and Well being"
The problem with deluding yourself Paul, is that sometimes you forget what you have actually stated/fibbed about already.

Interesting point, but polar bears can lose in excess of 40% during hibernation.

PaulSavage said:
she was around 200kg then
