If a boxer is 200lb+ without roids how is he not a natural heavyweight ?

Any fighter that has to body build themselves up above the Heavyweight limit, for me is not a natural heavyweight 'It is simply as that'.
Any fighter who really is just out of condition, and is over the Heavyweight limit 'Is not a natural Heavyweight'.
In today's era as I have explained before? Fighters are not the monsters people try and make out.
The training culture these days, obsesses over gaining mass and fighters all trying to be super Heavyweights 'Or compete with the threat of the Super Heavyweights'.
Foreman & Ali in the 70's did not need to pump themselves up over the Heavyweight limit, when they entered into training camp. 'They were boiling down to fight weight, their training was primary focused on finessed and endurance not gaining mass or obsessing over trying to be a super heavyweight'.
That is a reflection of how the training culture in the modern Heavyweight division as altered.
I am sure there are many people who body build in a gym, and have pumped themselves up over 200 pounds 'I am just talking about everyday people'.
Those people are not natural Heavyweights 'Although they may walked about thinking they are'.
But for the most part, I would say the Heavyweight division as a open class division 'Compared to other weight divisions, we know what we are watching'.
Due to their being no catch weights, no re-hydration clauses or the toxic modern day culture of weight draining in the Heavyweight division 'We know what the fighters weigh during the weigh in is who they are as competitors' The competition is more pure at Heavyweight.
