    AJ has gotten a lot bigger and more jacked since his pro debut. Which explains the lingering rumors of drug use.

          I assume you mean you get stronger and larger muscles?

          Floyd Mayweather, seen here, weighed in at 130lbs and entered the ring weighing 136lbs:

              I'd love it if you could explain your thinking process so I could better understand you. Not only for boxing, but for other sports as well.

              For example, here is Michael Johnson in 1990, running 200 meters in 19.85 seconds: https://********/yQVySlkOqfQ

              And here is a significantly heavier and more muscular Michael Johnson in 1996, running 200 meters in 19.32 seconds (.53 seconds--or about 5 meters--faster): https://********/lbaLcenRTCE

                You've answered your own question. Sprinters run for a very short period of time. They don't run for long.

                    I second that thought!

                      If your argument is that any additional speed one gains by improving one's strength to weight ratio via weight training is more-than-offset by a loss in endurance--why do modern boxers who successfully move up in weight divisions invariably add muscle mass via weight training?

                      Examples include Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, Roy Jones, Evander Holyfield, Manny Pacquiao, Andre Ward, Terence Crawford, "Canelo" Álvarez, Michael Spinks, Juan Manuel Márquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Vinny Paz, Sergio Martínez, etc.
