Are there any highly successful boxers who had bodybuilder-like muscular physiques?

      Tim Bradley is very muscular. No boxer is going to be as muscular as the bodybuilder in your picture. Nobody is naturally that muscular and building that much muscle through lifting heavy weights would make a boxer tight and slow down his hand speed and lessen the power of his punches. Lots of boxers are very muscular like AJ and Takim but not that muscular.

        No, but there are many boxers who appear to have the genetics to be/have been pro bodybuilders. I made a thread about it.

        Tyson, Jeff Lacy and Wladimir Klitsckho definitely look like they could've been bodybuilders if they trained for it.

                  Kell Brook?

                  although obviously, not bodybuilder style by any means. Modern bodybuilding is disgusting and pure steroids.

                      AJ use to be bigger but has leaned out I guess to help with his Stamina which I must say has improved as seen vs Parker. But Muscles mean nothing in boxing! I remember Ricky Hatton having a prospect a few years ago by the name of Denton Vassell, this dude is SHREDDED

                      but got destroyed by Frankie Gavin then Sam Eggington and I haven't heard much from him sense. He Certainly looked the part but didn't have the skills or the chin to go with all the muscles.
