The discussion of body types is funny to me. I am a long time Mixed Martial Arts fan. In the early days of the sport, there were no weight classes. The early days were dominated by a man called Royce Gracie, who practiced a style of fighting called Gracie Jujistu. In those early days, they would have tournaments where winners would advance to the next round and at the end of the night a champion would be declared - NO WEIGHT CLASSES. So 176lb Royce Gracie would fight about five guys on one night in these tournaments and most of them would be at about 240lbs of muscle, but could range up to almost 400lbs of mostly blubber. He dominated most of these fights, because of his skill. en.wikipedia.org

Kenneth uses the term "facts" in an entirely different manner than say, law enforcement or the courts. He is following and posting on this matter like a layman or better yet some little old lady who calls Nancy Grace....but no...even they don't play so fast and loose with the term "facts:. Kenneth is in way over his head and now grasping at staws. He is what people call a loose cannon. The term was intitially used by the old navy when a cannon on ship was loose and the ship rolling it was very dangerous because of it's weight and because other stations on deck had little wiggle room as they continued to fight. The fact that the cannon might be loaded added an extra cautionary note of possible disaster.
