He would be over 200 lbs with legs. It is very obvious those two do not have the same body type

well heck.. some people are just naturally much stronger than others. should that be an unfair advantage as well?

After 106, the weights are in order: 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285.

if he wrestles people in a higher weight class do they now have an unfair advantage because they have full use of legs? i don't agree it's unfair either way though. i don't know, i feel like there should be some sort of middle ground here.. so i was curious about the different weight classes and found this.

The advantage comes from weight/strength. The area of the body he's missing probably accounts for 20-30 lbs.

That's said, it isn't an "unfair" advantage. Just an advantage.

When did he lose his legs, and I wonder exactly how much they weigh.


Any ways, there's a number of strategies in this sport to utilize your advantages and their disadvantages..
