      Some guys get muscle-bound and never lift at all, ever. I have bigger forearms and biceps than most people's calf muscles, never lifted in a gym in my life, though I've always done hard work. Genes are the biggest determining factor of muscle mass, but weight lifting to increase size will always slow a fighter. You can lift to tone and increase strength, but when you start maxing out, you are ****ing yourself up.

        Edison Miranda has been quoted that he doesn't life eights at all.

        That Derrick Findley guy that fougt Dirrell last time out was built like a machine and said he don't lift weights.

        Jeff Lacy doesn't lift weights.

          Well yeah...you should not max out if you're a boxer. I am a powerlifter. My numbers are fairly average, but I do know this: You don't get large muscle mass by accident. My Uncle's a freak. He has hugely strong legs and never worked them with weights and his arms are very solid (especially considering that he's 60). I did not inherit those traits, unfortunately. You may have enormous forearms and huge biceps, but you would be one of few who could do that without serious weight training.

              No, it's genetic, no doubt. My thighs and calves are also massive, just a big guy all the way round. 6'2", 225, and still have a 33 to 35" waist (depending on the time of year...I gain a little in cold weather).

              Just to give you an idea, in gym class, farting around on the weight machine, i was leg pressing over 700 pounds in my sop****re year, and over 800 as a senior, before I went into the military, and have been able to dead lift over 500# since about that time too, and still can, when the need arises.

                NO WAY Jeff Lacy doesn't lift weights, he's like a bodybuilder. Miranda has natural muscles, it's obvious.

                  He said so in a interview.He's naturally built like that.

                  Search pics from his amateur days and see him.At 18 he looked exactly almost like now.

                  He doesn't life weights.

                      Ever saw a picture of 13-14 year old Mike Tyson. He looks like a damn linebacker and I'm sure at age he had not lifted yet. I also know a guy who is a beast. He is active and plays a lot of sports but he doesn't lift and he looks like Jeff Lacey.
