He was literally the best swimmer in the entire UK for his age and shared the podium with a future Olympian.
Are you being intentionally daft?
the guy is unchoordinated exactly like someone that didn't do a minute of sport in his youth.
He's uncoordinated because he's almost 400 pounds of muscle packed onto a regular human frame.because he doesn't like someone who did sport in his youth, i imagined that he was the classic child that quit at 12 and you all are focusing on the fact that he quit one year later like it changes the fact that i got it right , plus you are overplaying winning at 13 in a specific federation (idk in uk but in italy there are dozens of fed with their national champs).
at 13 you are still a child, the guy is unchoordinated exactly like someone that didn't do a minute of sport in his youth.
Yup, one of the most stupid rules in the UFC.Eddie Hall might not be the greatest example, but I wish the UFC would uncap the HW limit. What if you put Aspinall's mind into Hall's body, he would be a juggernaut. We could see some new life at HW with a new limit. I don't buy that 265 is a universal weight that all the big guys can make. There might be some giants like Valuev who would train MMA if it was allowed. UFC can choose who they sign or don't, or cut guys if they get morbidly obese.
he looks like someone that didn't do any sport in his youth,

No, he's coordinated exactly like someone who was a top athletic specimen in their youth and then grew an additional 200 pounds of muscle on top of that.
Point me to a man who weighs close to 400 lbs and can move the way Eddie Hall does.
You're braindead.Eddie honestly looks terrible, size is a factor for him being slow and easily winded but I've seen guys who boxed for years, stopped, got morbidly obese and picked up boxing again in their 30s just out of love and to lose weight who look like super athletes compared to Hall. Hall really charges into his punches, telegraphs everything and doesn't show much technique. He's a freak athlete and a giant powerhouse, Tom's gotta respect that while also making sure not to hurt him. Eddie's going to look a lot better because of those things than he actually is in sparring.
none'd call himself a succesful sportsman citing the tournment won at 13.
Prime Sapp was like 365...roided to the gills, but was athletic and moved well for his size. If the UFC did allow 265+ pound HWs, I'm pretty sure most (whether former NFL players, strong man competitors, etc) would be guys who heavily used PEDs to bulk up to their size before MMA. Maybe there would be a few tall giants or Olympic wrestlers who didn't, but that would be the exception.No, he's coordinated exactly like someone who was a top athletic specimen in their youth and then grew an additional 200 pounds of muscle on top of that.

No it's not decent movement. What does it matter if he is a strongman or tenis playerDecent movement for a strongman competitor..
Lol at you believing that. Eddie is the king of excuses. He had a year to rehab his bicep before the fightTo be fair, Eddie went into that fight with a torn bicep. He was basically boxing with one working arm.
No, he didn't. His feet looked terrible, with way too much weight on his heels and his back foot perpendicular to his front foot. He was incapable of properly pivoting, which means that for all his strength, his punches were crap that could generate a hard shove but no sharp impact. It also meant that his back foot lost contact with the mat all the time rather than maintaining that ball-of-the-foot connection on a pivot. In full MMA sparring he'd have been taken down pretty easily whenever he lunged on those jabs because he was on one leg with no KO power threat in his punches. Keeping his feet the way he did also meant he couldn't kick. And, as noted by the commenter, Eddie also had a bit of a guard problem, with his non-punching hand dropping on punches and his twitchy, reactive, easily-taken-advantage-of herky-jerky raising and lowering of his guard as Tom moved.Really?
I though he looked good or a guy who is like 350lbs and does fuck around a lot and not boxes seriously.
