Morales, Vargas, Hamed, Duran, Hatton, Toney are the first ones that come to mind for those who went straight to the buffet table right after retirement.
Leonard is the only ex champ who still looks he can still put in a few rounds. Mayweather sr, although never a champion looks like he could wipe out the current welterweight division.
Any others?
Terry Norris still looks very fit, Julian Jackson still slim, Shane Mosley didn't get fat after he lost to Mundine, Holyfield looks good, Carl Froch still didn't get fat, I saw Sergio Martinez last week he's not fat at all.
froch looks like he could fight right now!and sergio looks skinny even though they retired not so long ago
You have to understand that these Boxers kill themselves making weight, they have to starve themselves for years to stay on top of their game and remain in shape. So once a fighter retires, he's earned millions - They kind of deserve to just **** and eat all they want to make up for all the sacrifice.
Chavez, Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler come to mind.
Speaking of guys who got fat after retirement, how about Bazooka Gomez?

Every single one of those fighters you mentioned were notorious for being fat slobs between fights. Wilfredo Gomez was another; he's a right fact hunt nowadays.
Terry Norris still looks very fit, Julian Jackson still slim, Shane Mosley didn't get fat after he lost to Mundine, Holyfield looks good, Carl Froch still didn't get fat, I saw Sergio Martinez last week he's not fat at all.
I saw Lennox Lewis at the Montreal fights and he didn't look fat at all. I have seen him fat before but not this weekend. He looked trim. Hagler is never fat. Lots of ex champs do stay lean and lots of them get fat and sometimes hog fat.
