    all had elements of the "bodybuilder" physique. the big one associated with bodybuilding is that they've got small waists and are very broad aacross the shoulders and back, giving the perspective of huge size. obviously there are others who just are that kind of dried out and ripped looking, but i think the TS was talking about the proportions.

          Agree to a certain extent but bodybuilding has got weight divisions too, you are assuming only heavyweight bodybuilders.

            Acting like a spoilt bastard lol. My favourite training regimen ever was Julio cesar chavez Jr eating cereal with pink pants on in the living room at midday, where he also trained shadowboxing in prep for his World title fight against Sergio martinez. Hahahaha ***ing legend.

              ibeabuchi is a good one. that guy looked like somebody carved him out of a block of wood. too bad he lost his mind, the guy had a lot of talent for boxing.

                Does Bradley count? He started boxing looking like a very muscular body builder and got even more muscular when he moved up to 147. Bradley's muscles have muscles. Marquez was thin for many years and then suddenly became far more muscular and moved all the way up to 147 in his old age. He didn't have the same slim build at all. Canelo always was stocky and muscular. About the time he fought Chavez and then GGG he looked a lot more muscular than ever before. In fairness to him strength training can add lots of muscle.

                  Boxers that could make a career as bodybuilders:

                  Jeff Lacy
                  Steve Cunningham
                  Frank Bruno
                  Anthony Joshua
                  Ken Norton

                  ...to name a few.

                      This, obvious troll post.
