Depends on what you mean by huge, he's like 5'2"... Other than that, his physique is a blend of genes and a lifetime of training harder than you can imagine. The Cubans train from the time they're five years old.

On the other hand, their system is exactly why they're so good. If they had a choice, they wouldn't be training as hard. They wouldn't have the ability to channel that much money and expertise into boxing, if they were a "free" country. A lot of those guys fail to live up to their potential, once they defect, and suddenly don't have the strict way of life anymore. Their lives are basically one big training camp.

I've seen those guys at tournaments. They're very undisciplined once they're on their own. Smoking, drinking, partying.

A totalitarian system is generally not a good thing, but it's very effective when it comes to developing elite athletes.

Different people will weigh different things even being the same size. To aim to be the same size and weight as another is pretty hard. Height obviously comes into the equation, at the same weight the taller they are the leaner they are, body stature, ecto', mesmo' or exo'...Bone density, sounds weird but some people can have quite 'heavy bones' and finally muscle spread. Some people hold their weight in their arms, some in their chest, some in their legs. Forget trying to recreate somebody else's body on you.
