Skeltons had a great fighting career he's had a few belts in boxing having had about 30 pro fights an I think about 70 kick boxing matches he's even fought peter aerts an ernisto hoost and to top that off he's even fought in pride once so all in all he's a legend in my eyes might never have got to the top but you've got to give it to him for trying
Being fat doesn't necessarily exclude being able to have muscles. Nortje is pretty bad, but still. Take Sem Schilt for example, 132 kilo's, slightly overweight for his height, but still the best. What you lack in speed compared to small fighters, you can make up for in reach, power and weight.
It's actually quite difficult to fight someone who's very tall. Worst case scenario they manage to always keep the distance, and you don't touch them while being demolished yourself.
@Novantii If you calculate Schilt's weight-size ratio, you'll find that on paper, he's overweight. That measure is meant for regular muscle ratio, so for Schilt it doesn't quite apply, but it's still an excellent example of how you can be superheavy, but still fast and flexible.
Point I'm making is people hate on Nortje for his size. That's wrong, hate him for lack of skill.
Nortje could kick ass too you see. That is, if he started training at a gym rather than a restaurant. ^_^
every fight I've seen with this Jan guy, he just gets totally decked. Does he actually train or does he just rock up trusting in his size and hideous appearance??
Yeah, looks like Matt should've tured pro boxer alot earlier than he did, he was obviously getting well paid for this though, more of a carreer judging by his K1 record!
