Was Shane Carwin the most ripped heavyweight?

[brownsmith76]

Shane was strong with heavy hands.

 

[Aluminati]

Aleksandr Karelin comes to mind whenever the term "ripped" gets mentioned. That man had no fat and was stronger than anyone. It took a rules change for someone to unseat him via technicality. Such a dominant force.

Lol at Ngannou being "lanky"

... raising a glass to Sherdog never stopping Sherdogging...

 

[dildos]

Ngannou and the funny thing he knocks everybody that have been mentioned before

What’s crazy is that the midget next to him has bigger fists and nearly the same size shoulders.

'Ripped'?

Carwin hasn't massively chiseled.

No more than Pavlovich, anyway.

At one point in time it looks like Shane was ripped. Looks like it was pre-UFC though.

 

[emefer]

Yes and the tallest

 

[StonedLemur]

He ended his career at 36 and he must be the only one Brock Lesnar who was that big and ripped. Francis was more a lanky fighter.

Discuss

Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman are up there.

 

[StonedLemur]

How does he even maintain that pose in the last picture? I understand core strength and all that, but I'd assume his plant hand would have to be below his face or else he'd just tip over.

I used to be able to do that, maybe 3-5 seconds.

[Tary]

Shane was strong with heavy hands.

[melans]

Honorable mention to Melvin Manhoef.
He wasn't a heavyweight but he KO'd Mark Hunt.

 

[Terminator2]

Hevyweights were much bigger in Golden age of ufc 2003-2013
