This picture is a prime example of why the Heavyweight division is a joke

[hectari]

The guy on the left dominic Breazeale is supposed to be a heavyweight prospect/contender dude is skinny fat. His opponent looks like a buffet regular.

Look at these guys, wtf do they even eat clean and healthy? these guys are so out of shape its not even funny.

The heavyweight division is a joke man, when Ali and Foreman fought they tried not to weigh too heavy, the heavyweights wanted to be lean and around 200-215 pounds tops no more than that.

Now these guys just eat tacos, burritos, hamburgers, pizza, beer, even in training because they are lazy and in the heavyweight division so they say hey Im a heavyweight I dont have to cut weight ill pig out.

it's really something, hard to believe they even train when they are that fat

how do you look like that after going through a professional training camp?

So they're larger versions of Joe Frazier with the same chubby physique? And he was a top fighter. These are two random guys.

And you honestly think guys would still target 210 lbs in today's division?

lol

For that matter Ali was only ripped when he was young and too light for heavyweight, once he got to modern HW levels he was chubby.

You realize they made a "cruiserweight" division specifically for these reasons but americans ignore it because a big cliche black guy isn't the champ.

is this guy serious?? frazier nor ali looked like that at all

Frazier was a chubby 6 footer and he was the best of the best during the "golden ages"





Ali was ripped when he was young but he was barely at the HW limit. By the time he fought as a true heavyweight he was an old chubster.




The myth of these fighters being in amazing shape comes from photos of them below 200 pounds in their early 20s. Ali won a gold medal at 178 and fought as a natual 190 without cutting. Frazier was short by the standards of today's 168/175/200 divisions much less HW.

YOU CAN'T COMPARE GUYS WHO WOULD FIGHT AT LHW/CW TODAY TO MODERN HEAVYWEIGHTS.

Modern champion at the same age and around the same weight as fat Ali (those ali pics are labeled 1980, which I think would make Ali 38 years old. Here is Wladimir at 38 years old):


The old days of HW boxing ******, it was just a local affair. It was like Gatti vs Ward but without a Floyd there to make them look bad.

His opponent probably sees the words "All You Can Eat" on a restaurant and that place is no longer a restaurant, it is a church, a religion to him.
