When did "Man Body" become a talking point?

[TheIronMike]

I remember back in 2020 when Andre Ward/Timothy Bradley were saying that Shakur is starting to grow into his "man body" or will obtain "man strength"

Same was said on saturday night during the Haney-Kam fight, and any Ryan Garcia and Mungia fight.

Why is this term being used in regards to young fighters? Nobody said that shid in 1976 when Benitez faced Cervantez at the age of 17. MOFO rode the school bus to the fight.

Nobody said man strength when Ray won the title at 23, nobody said man strength when 21 year old Floyd Patterson KO'd ARCHIE FREAKING MOORE

i guess people develop at certain rates, i mean some guys dont find success until their 30's or close to & maybe a few weight classes too or maybe the comp is just lesser than and they do better

maybe it's when they can no longer dehydrate 20+ pounds for the weigh in.

First time I remember hearing it was when Canelo was ducking GGG and they were doing that 155 bullsh**.

I've heard it before. I think there was a similar narrative when Zab Judah moved up to 147.
