Let's talk about the elephant in the room: Walt Harris' Shoulder Posture

[emefer]

Must be part turtle.

Uh... I don't think Walt swims.

Brilliant. I'm talking about how having square shoulders is not an unnatural affectation.

You'll learn about optimal biomechanics of the human body, one day. Assuming you're up for it.

 

[fzoid4454]

Eye of the beholder. Sounds like you're projecting. Hater. Don't be mad!

P.S. don't use pictures that disprove what you're claiming. Lol. Pitiful.

Actually, those are athletes with very square shoulders, even moreso than Harris, who were all world champion athletes in a sport where full range of motion of the shoulders is a requirement, jackass. Would that be an example of "biomechanics"?

Here's a couple of guys who are known for being able to punch very well (more biomechanics in action!). Tell me how their posture is so much different than Harris'

Or I can just invent nonsense and post stuff that I pull out of my ass. It seems to be working for you.

It's actually kind of funny that you'd lecture on "biomechanics" when having NOTHING to back up what you're saying..... other than posted pictures that don't prove your point, at all.

Quite dissimilar. Again. Eye of the beholder. And just because you quoted a few doesn't mean they are perfect. Everyone can improve.

You made it a personal stance. Truth hurts to those who hate the truth.

Hate less and you'll learn more.

And just because you posted a single example of someone with square shoulders who doesn't have great punching mechanics doesn't mean the two are related, at all.

Yes, eye of the beholder, indeed, since even the woman in the photo has shoulders as square as Harris. Feel free to share what's fundamentally different about their shoulders and posture. Other than "I must reject the obvious similarity because my initial premise is idiotic".

Keep hating. I don't hate you though. You just don't see it and you never will with that rotten attitude.

This post was for those with a constructive mind and those willing to learn about the biomechanics of true power punchers like Tyson, Lawler, Hunt, Shogun, Marciano, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Etc.

Everyone can improve, but, literally, there was not a single person on the planet who were better than them, at their peak. Clearly, they were not inhibited by shoulders. Or maybe you think it's all equal because every person in the sport was similarly walking around with an unnatural posture from a desire to look like they had shoulders.

If you posted something that had some kind of backup, foundation, citation, reference of any kind, I might see it. But you can't see what isn't there and doesn't exist.

If you actually were posting something about the biomechanics of his punches vs theirs, and how they differ, then we might be having the discussion you claim you want to have.

But you made it "I think Harris walks around 'shrugging' all the time to look like he has bigger shoulders" which is not, at all, the discussion you are pretending you want to have.

I notice your active deflection from my request for details on what is fundamentally different about the shoulders and posture.

I'm sure you actually believe you have some kind of brilliant scientific insight here. Super. But you wishing for it to be so doesn't make it so.

How is this the elephant in the room? lol

That expression refers to something obvious that people are afraid to talk about

He's fighting Tai Tuivasa.

That's elephants.

 

[dragovic]

He suffers from ILS (Inverted Lat Syndrome)

I thought ILS = Imaginary Lat Syndrome?

 

[OverhandRightKayo]

I thought ILS = Imaginary Lat Syndrome?

In this case, both apply.

I think in some respects not being able to shrug makes him have to be more decisive about things.

Well,fuck me,this thread has it's best post other than mine.

Right,its like half the people here arent even aware of Greg Hardy's existence,but well in,good thread regardless.

 

[Better Every Day]

Seems to me he could easily protect his chin with his shoulder ala Floyd Mayweather.

I hear you, except that Floyd shrugs in order to protect but has perfect posture otherwise.

Perma shrugging is not the solution.
