Heavy weights out of shape?

[No1]

I dont know if it's me but does it seem that the majority of good heavy weights are out of shape nowadays. Apart from wlad who seems in good shape most of the other good fighters are fat ie. Valuev, ibragimov and chagaev. I know being fat doesnt mean your unfit but surely if your a pro you would train to come in conditioned for your fight.
It also seems that even the olden day fighters came in, in a better condition than todays fighters. Who agrees?

i think dietting has been thrown out of the window. Some of these guys are just naturally BIG and don't drain themselves in order to develop some kind of speed.

True, true. However Haye has always been a dietter - he talks quite openly about his battle at maintaining his cruiserweight physique (and hence his decision to move to the heavier division). I think Haye just ate naturally and whole heartidly and added more of a weight regimine and found himself more comfertable and natually better at heavy.
