    Tyson being relatively short and stocky might’ve breen what helped him in the heavyweight division against all those guys with a wider wingspan that couldn’t really catch him when he got close.

    I think Fedor fits this category more where he didn’t look fit but just kept winning against everyone.

        Does it? Because all the top powerlifters and strongmen are way above average height

      Fedor is proof that dad bods can be just as scary as roided muscle bods, for sure.

      Shogun was kinda built like that, too, and had a hell of a run in Pride.
