James Thompson looks at Mariusz Pudzianowski and sees a reminder of a mistake he once made. A very big reminder.
Now on the eve of his second fight with the former “World’s Strongest
Man,” Thompson isn’t sure whether Pudzianowski has learned
the lesson that bigger is not always better. But he doesn’t really
