I figured it would make it easier for people to get answers having a single thread since it's not a widely discussed topic.

I'm somewhere neatly between Ectomorph and Mesomorph, I'd say.

There is a rating system for somatotypes, as most people are a blend of all 3 types.

I might be, for example:

Endomorph: 3
Mesomorph: 5
Ectomorph: 4

It might be interesting to submit an image or images of a person here, and then try to assign them the 3 number rating.

Here is the corresponding image to demonstrate the extreme, or "textbook", examples of the types, along with their ratings:

I wouldn't put too much stock in gaining and losing weight, that is a bit more complex, same with wrists and ankles, slim ankles and wrists are an extreme trait, generally an ectomorph is going to have wide ankles and wrists. Extreme endomorphs are also short which regular endmorphs are average to tall.

Your abdomen above your hips is just fat, mustle and guts, the middle doesnt mean anything its all about the hips and shoulders. That drawings mesomorph is just a skinny endomorph since her hips are just as wide as shoulders. A true meso would never have hips as wide as their shoulders.

See how her hips are even, she is often classifed as borreby and she is a good endomorph, a mesomorph is not going to be square bone wise

Yea arm punches also just cause so much strain on your back and shoulders; really unhealthy if you are a fighter and doing it a lot. I see it a lot in in UFC among middle-lower weight classes. That's why I always liked heavyweight mma because you get to see some good boxing technique when it comes to throwing.

Meso women can be curvy for sure, womens shapes are shaped by not just their hips but their thighs and even by fat in the hips. But the principle is the bone structure.
For instance Eva Longoria is a mesomorph, curvy but you can see her hip bones dont make up her curviness, its her thighs and the fat in the hip area.

I might look bulky there but I was a 135 lbs skinny XC runner in high school, and a part of me will always feel like that guy :)

My hips are average or maybe slightly wider, I don't think they changed much with lifting and gaining weight, my upper body changed much more.

To this day it is easier for me to add muscle to my upper body, I struggle with my legs.

Funny thing though is a lot of boxers throw arm punches , at least atype of arm punch.
Even Mayweather sometimes throws straights that are like between a jab and an arm punch.
I was an amateur boxer for few years in my mid to late teens and in amateur boxing its about point scoring more than knocking people out so guys would throw arm punches if there is an opportunity to land a punch to get the point even if not a very powerful punch.
Point is though you can throw arm punches with good footwork and bodymovement its not same thing as throwing full body punch hook or uppercut like Tyson style but you can throw a punch thats kind of between a arm punch and body movement punch.
When I boxed I had a pretty good jab and hand flow so I used a type of arm punch quite a bit but always in and out footwork movement never standing stiff.

I was an amateur boxer for few years in my mid to late teens and in amateur boxing its about point scoring more than knocking people out so guys would throw arm punches if there is an opportunity to land a punch to get the point even if not a very powerful punch.
Point is though you can throw arm punches with good footwork and bodymovement its not same thing as throwing full body punch hook or uppercut like Tyson style but you can throw a punch thats kind of between a arm punch and body movement punch.
When I boxed I had a pretty good jab and hand flow so I used a type of arm punch quite a bit but always in and out footwork movement never standing stiff.

yea points is a whole nother battle, thats why they do it in mma too.

True.

Fighting distance also determines what types punches and how much body weight to use.
Generally when your bending your knees and pivoting your using some level body weight momentum behind your punches.

Nick Diaz would mix in a flurry of handflow type arm punches not powerfully thrown but the sheer volume would wear his opponents down then he would finish them off with a bodyweight thrown overhand or left hook.

One of my favourite boxers the Welsh/Italian Joe Calzaghe had a kind of unusual but effective style.
A lot of people early on accused him of being a slapper but he was undefeated at end his career.
He is putting his body weight and momentum behind most his punches here but he was accused at start of his career of throwing slap punches. You can see some arm punches here and there too but because of his movement they have body momentum behind them too.

slapping someone on the chin can be pretty effective on rare occasions when you can make the jaw move with it and trigger their off switch. The problem comes when they have a good guard ( probably will just hit the cheek or the top of the head) and when they are good at countering. Also with slaps the force can be too even distributed making it just ineffective. Both the Diaz brothers for sure don't rely too much on haymakers but they are smart because they both are pretty skinny and rely on out cardioing their opponents or working submissions. Their weight classes are heavy in submission and ground and pound techniques.

I didn't see Nate v McGregor 2020 but I heard Connor took the decision. I think as they are getting older their style is going to work against them like it did for Anderson Silva, except he was pretty good at those stiff shots.

Yup slaps can drop guys if they land on the ol sweet spot.
One nasty street fighting tactic is to open palm slap the guy right on the ear which can result in broken eardrum which would shutdown most people.

Connor won their second fight on points but it was a close fight.
I bet if they went another 1 or 2 rounds though Nate would either out cardio boxed him or submitted him.

But far as straight out striking goes as much as I like Nate I believe Connor is the better striker.

Conor is either one of the best if not the best, striker in the UFC when it comes to pure striking.

I know good response to that would be to say even Khabib dropped him, but if they just boxed each other no grappling or wrestling allowed for like 5 rounds straight its a different story.

Yea Connor is a great striker. I think most of his mistakes are tactical like you said, he gets into his opponents comfort zone too often. He would be great if he played it old school and just avoided the ground and clinching like the plague. But it's hard for him because he isn't the tallest guy in his respective division. Especially Nick, he is lanky af and has a long reach, nate is more in his realm I think when it comes to reach and style. Nick is all bone too I would hate to be clinched with someone that bony.

What impressed me about Conor is he got out cardioed massively by Nate and then submitted by him in their first fight.
He was able to come back and for the most part got the better of the striking in their 2nd fight he even dropped Nate several times. Nate is a dog though tough as fuck just kept getting back up and in Conors face. Conor did deserve that win by his performance but I dont think he would had the cardio if it went any further.

Man ol school Nick Diaz such a character I luved watching that guy fight, he was entertaining as fuck.
