I don't know if it was Manny or other person on his team that told him to lose muscle to be more athletic and fluid but he must have lost at least 25 pounds of muscle. His chest looked flat, his arm where much smaller and so was his back.
That said he looked more fliud and not like a robot he used to be when he was huge and he didn't lose his power, so it may have helped him. There is no one right now that can beat him at HW.
This was stated many times,
MANNY TOLD WLAD TO STOP THE HEAVY WEIGHTLIFTING AND CONCENTRATE ON BOXING.
It isn't like he all of a sudden looks like this. It has been a progress over fights sine having Manny train him.
It also doesn't take much to lose the bodybuilder look if you just stop training with weights. However, if you excercise routinely, you are going to stay in a nice Greek statue like physique. I have a few friends that just play baseketball, and they are ripped and muscular.
Manny rips on boxers that prefer to be like bodybuilders than boxers. He says few have ever been good that look like bodybuilders, one of them being good was MIKE TYSON. Of course, Tyson supposedly didn't train that much, if at all, with weights in his prime; after prison, he did, and he was shit. Tyson was just a stocky motha fucka, but his muscles in his prime were fluid, not ripped, and ball like. He says lifting hurts stamina.
I stopped training with weights for 1 year and concentrated on more "natural" type excercises like, Push-ups, Pull-ups (both kind), sprints, explosive lunges, etc. sometimes I will add weight with a weighted-vest.
I didn't lose weight, and feel a lot more athletic. Of course the bulky/cut look looks better, but having fluid muscles works much better.
his legs looked better in this fight. Perhaps he is finally balancing his weight across his body rather than trying to look like Mr. Universe?
Yea I agree, looks more proportionate now.
I think he is just doing tons of cardio for his conditioning. Thats why he doesnt "look" big, but is actually heavier.
Thats the case with me personaly too, I look much "bigger" when I dont run and just do bench/body weight exercises.
I start playing ball in the summer, I actually look a lot leaner, but the scales show the same or more.
I think I read in an interview with Steward that Sdunak did a lot of weight training, and that Steward didnt use weights in his training, focused more on sparring.
He hasnt looked as big since he began training with Steward
I noticed he looked slimmer. His veins also weren't the size of jump ropes this time around.
I think it's because he didn't even get warmed up yet, he was still finding his range when he just saw the opportunity and capitalized on it.
One thing I am sure of is that despite what weight Klitschko came in at, and how he looked, we know nothing of how that will factor into future fights. Will less muscle impact his punches at all? Will he be more agile? What does it mean? Tonight's fight was one round of feeling out and no action and then a quick KO. Showed us nothing.
They take samples after the fight. You would know if he was juiced.
I watched one of his first fights on utube the other day. He was smaller, but still muscular and tall. Gimme a break. No matter what people dislike WK. I much prefer him to Rahman or Tyson or Holmes as champ. He does his work in the ring and keeps his mouth shut outside the ring--except when he is donating his fight fees to impoverished 3rd world nations. A pure boxer.
Well look at boxrec.
The man slowly gained weight over the years, he has been steadily putting on weight.
Not like Briggs, who put on 40lb in fuck knows how quick.
Maybe he stopped juicing?
Not sure if he did to begin with though.
No I don't think he juiced.
He was always an avid weight lifter, multi sports athlete. It's pretty hard to not gain when you're 6'6 and weigh 240 at skinny status.

D00de we weighed a career high 246.5 lb!
He simply got much more leaner, instead of that "bulkier" look he had.
He looks leaner while weighing more then he ever did in his life.
Yeah he's a lot leaner.
That started against Castillo where he was lighter on his feet. I think he's less flat footed, and twice the boxer now. Yes.
