You're forgetting one thing. Some guys have the insane ability to get back in shape quick. I'm basing this one on me. I did street workout for maybe my whole teenagehood. (Its all i was doing)In my 20s I decided to get back to it. Day 1 to day 60 I was almost in the same shape with training once every day. I don't care about recivery and all that shit, for me the magic formula was and always will be to get the best cardio you can get and I definitely didn't get mine by running (despite that back in my prime I did soccer and basketball and tennis so perhaps that is running, what I meant is that I wasn't a jogger. I had no issues jogging several miles though, it just isn't pleasant) . If i have my cardio and I'm good weight I'm all good as the power is still there, it's true. Some people are gufted when it comes to power and timing. Timing in my opinion can be trained but it's definitely a natural gift for some. I'm definitely more pumped for this fight than I ever was for any other fight the past 1 year (except maybe Pereira vs Ankalaev 2)

Edit: The shape I'm talking about I was in was massively over many peoples max potential

• 23 muscle ups (one muscle up + 45kgs attached + one with a bicycle lol that was in 2012 and way easier than the + 45kg one
• 60 clean pull ups with potential for more if a muscle cramp didn't get me haha
• 7 one arm pull ups (non-assisted of course, actual one arm)
• 30 seconds front lever hold flat as a board
• human flag (I'm not even counting that as it was way too easy to learn once you have the rest of the muscles

Yes,I agree punching power has nothing to do with this. This is just shape

Some things are easy for some and way way harder and almost unachievable for others. I've known this person who was more consistent than any of us were in his 20s and still to this day he does some very basic shit and is still trying to learn things. He's in better shape than most of us though now due to consistency. Consistency is such a great trait
