I think it's just harder to look like a body builder when you are just naturally bigger than the HW boxer from 20 years ago. When you get that big it's just really a matter of genetics. Why do you think Vitali and Wlad are the only Boxers that big that can get that muscular frames while other fighter that size are usually pudgy.
Only hypocrites bash Chris Arreola's weight but never said anything about Sam Peter.

The real point that I'm trying to make though is that you can still be soft around the gut and still be successful in the HW division. Larry Homes who yes weighed less than Arreola and Peter but he also wasn't this muscle bound mutant made of rock. He was soft and he looked almost non thretening even in his prime.Comment

Chris is taller yet he's fat and the shorter and heavier Sam Peter had this body made of stone. Stop being hypocrites and recognize that most of the fighters in the HW division are fat. None og these guys outside Vitali, Wlad, and Haye have these perfect bodies so really some of you need to rethink your attacks on Chris Arreola.Comment

Have you ever seen the Worlds Strongest Man compatition on ESPN?
Ever Notice that most of those guys look more like Chris Arreola and Sam Peter rather than Vitali and Wlad?
Thats because pretty body builder arms arn't meant for strength. They are meant to look good.
Say what you want about Sam and Arreola's midsection but there arms are built like red wood trees.Comment

Hey and thats fair!!! But as far as skill goes some of the top HW can be great fighters even if they are a little soft. Remeber this isn't a body building contest either so just because todays HW boxers don't have these ripped bodies doesn't mean they arn't as skilled.
Like I said before Larry Holmes didn't exactly have a body of iron either.Comment
