Boxers (past or present) who could/would have made good pro bodybuilders
Now of course pro bodybuilders these days are more or less science experiments with the amount of drugs they take- various kinds of steroids at high doses, HGH, insulin, peptides, prohormones, SARMS, clenbuterol, dinitrophenol, and who the hell knows what else. Then there's the diuretics and extreme dieting to get to near life threateningly low body fat percentages while maintaining all that muscle.
But even with all the drugs, working out and dieting, you still need to be genetically gifted in order to grow an insane amount of muscle and look good by bodybuilding standards. Some people are not responsive to steroids or they look like utter crap when on them.
Which boxers, past or present, do you think would have made good bodybuilders? I think Wladimir and Mike Tyson could've been solid in the golden era of bodybuilding, now known as "classic physiques" or in the modern era where you have the "mass monsters". To me they both look like they have the genetics for bodybuilding.
What say you?
Side note- the modern era bodybuilders look awful compared to the ones of the 60s 70s and 90s and HGH/Insulin guts are getting out of control. So this isn't really about whether or not bodybuilders are aesthetically pleasing. Its about which boxers you think have/had the genetics for it.
