Is Rickson considered too short for NHB? He is only 510

I don't really believe what you said. The guy is at least 6'3, 200 lbs! No one 5'7 can enter into heavy weight match!!!

Powerlifing doesn't mean strength, there are a lot of body mechanism involved in lifting movement, in fact it is a sport favours short person, don't you understand the short the person is the least distant is require for him to move the weight over his head?!!!!!!!!!!

No skin off my ass,bud. But I have seen Igor fight tons of times and he says he is 5'7'3/4' and he looks that tall,and I saw a tape last night wherein he fought Akira Shoji who is 5'7' and they looked the same height. Incidently,Igor fought 6'8' 360# Paul Varelans and beat the shit out of him. But believe what you want, just don't tell Igor he ain't big enough to be good.

Yeah,I understand. But he can still move heavier shit.

I won't believe it.

He just cannot beat a 6'8 360 lbs person. How he did it may I ask? What style he trains in?

Fine.Good.Great. Live life in denial if you choose. Denial can be a comfortable place.

Are you saying that I am lying? Or that I am stupid? I saw the fight,I have it on tape. It is a known fight. It is on the 'Night of Diamonds' Video. Why would I lie,anyway?

He punched,kicked and kneed Varelans into a bloody mess. Do you admit that Tyson is 5'10'? Marciano was only that big.Same as Joe Frasier. What about K-1,which was won by the 5'8' Cikatic and 5'10' Andy Hug. Am I lying about this too? Saulo Ribiero is regarded as the best BJJer around today, he is 5'8'. Rickson may be the best ever, he is 5'9'. Kimura was among the greatest Judoka ever,he was 5'9'. Are these all lies? Am I a secret agent employed by evil pygmyes spreading propaganda?

Igorr Vovchanchin was skilled in kickboxing and boxing when he beat Varelans,he has since switched focus to Muay Thai,Combat Sambo and wrestling... or as he calls it Combat Kickboxing.

Gi(who is actually 4'10' and plotting the demise of the 6 foot freaks while hiding in the shadows,biding his time)

You are a strange bird,bro.

gi dont forget rocky marciano 5'91/2 or mike tyson 5'9 1/2

I have the fight on tape Igor pounded the Taller yet much slower Varelans into the ground.

How did he reach Varelans face? Varelans is over a feet taller than him!

Varelans can reach his face while he can hit nothing.

Yes.

Who are they?

I believe won by much taller Alex from Holland.

That's why Rickson never fight with Kerr or Varelans. Rickson is older is another reason. Rickson may be able to beat Varelans if younger, I am sure he can.

Is he a Russian?

Marciano also had the shortest arms of any heavyweight champ in history (or so I've read). Shorter than many lightweights of his day I believe. How relevant do you peeps think this was to his punching power?

Arms are more than a foot long.

Yet he did.

Former heavyweight champions of the world in boxing.

K-1 has been won by Hug... 5'10'. Aerts 6'3' Hoost 6'4'1/2 and Cikatic 5'8'

Rickson would likely lose to Kerr, but he would beat Varelans.

Yes.

Russian or Ukranian, I'm not sure which.
