Hold up.. now you are talking about speed and not stamina. Two different things. And you guys are taking it to extreme proportions. Coleman and Cutler... Olympic Runners. Ol' boy was just saying muscle bound guys can't fight and have no stamina.. which is a very broad statement. And also an incorrect one as well. And Gardner would out weigh all those twiggy marathon runners by 100lbs and would still finish it without stopping.

I'm talking about mainting speed over an extended period of time. Sure, a 500lb guy can walk a mile without stopping, but does that mean that he has the same amount of stamina as a guy who can run it in 6minutes? Hell no. Just how gardner can run a marthon, yet still not do it as quickly as ones who do it professionally(exclusively) who are MUCH lighter in weight. A muscle-bound body isn't made to run for miles on end. Nor is a skinny one made to lift huge amounts of weight. Both serve their own purposes, and you have to sacrifice in each instance.

There are tons of them! Our very own Olympic Wrestler gold medalist Rolun Gardner carrys quite a bit of fat on him! You can be fat as hell and still have tons of stamina. You can also be very lean and gas in the first 5 minutes. I can say this because I've been there, done that. First hand experience. Don't judge a book by it's cover, that is your first mistake my friend.

is he right on this, i know several MMA fighters personally that are big and still fight.

but the one thing he still dosnt understand is my point came from a bodybulder stand point. but he has it in his head that i ment you have to be scrowny to fight. let me know when your in chicago next. we will scrap. maybe you will think twice before calling people you dont know *******...

And that goes to say also, you don't have to be big to be strong. Size does not always equal strength. BTW: Are you sure 27 reps in the second highest? I really doubt it!
