whenever I think of a 'sinewy" fighter.I automatically think of Joe Choynski.

DAMN!!!! I had something I didn't see!!!!! LMFAO!!!!

Surely Tommy Hearns qualifies

Bob Foster

Panama Al Brown

Livingstone Bramble and Ray Mancini

NICE...Bramble...! I should've thought of that...(but I didn't, you did)

Dick Tiger....

Tom Sharkey....

Ike Ibeabuchi....

Carmen Basilio....

Carlos Zarate....

Bob Foster....

Carlos Monzon....

Emile Griffith...

Both Norton and Ali in their top shape....though slightly different in how it manifested.

Norton maybe .... for all the good a hard body did him versus Foreman, Garcia, Cooney, and Shavers.

But not Ali.... Ali was a butterball for Young -- and for many fights where he ran a soft schedule -- such as Jean Pierre Coopman.... Rickard Dunn.... Alfredo Evangelista..... Rudi Lubbers.... Blubber Mathis.... Chuck Wepner..... and Leon Stinks

Tim Bradley had quite a physique

Still does in all likelihood

No power though... Most sinewy guys can rip.

Bradley did barbell curls which are insane for a boxer... You're not trying to peak the biceps. You use dumbbells, kettlebells, pullies, machines, rings, and focus on obliques, lower back, abs, hinge, glutes, and legs. More wrist action and body motion so you can drive a punch... Bradley always looked ripped, but not fearsome.

Norton said in his autobiography that he never lifted weights and that it was all due to good genetics.

oogiebe says to Norton...B'sh#t...LMAO! He was an amateur bodybuilder in San Diego.

Isn't a 'sinewy' body due to just having low body fat and not necessarily a sign of strength? (I am asking, not offering an opinion.)

I know it to be tight skinny striated muscly build. Carries power.

I dunno But I do remember Chris Byrd looking quite sinewy
when he dropped considerable weight for a come-back fight and was knocked out
(I think he lwas actually mistaken for Chris Rock to many when he came into the ring).

Did he ever enter competions ?
Maybe he was strictly an isometric bodybuiler ?

Bruce Lee was sinewy.

That's what I first thot Chris Byrd was trying to look like (Bruce Lee)en he trained for that fight.

Sandy Saddler- a 5 ft 8 and one-half inch tall featherweight champion.
