Partly because heavyweights have to weigh 40-50 lbs more than these guys? Froch is what? 6'2/6'3?? Same height as Haye.
Then why didn't Tyson, Holyfield, or Lewis ever looked as flabby as the heavyweights today? Actually Holifield today looks in better shape than today's fighters half his age.
He's talking about how they're generally fatasses indistinguishable from the fatass general public whereas fighters from all other weight classes look like athletes.
Because they are ****ing lazy...at least this generation, just remember how Norton, Holyfield, Tyson, Foreman looked, so just ignore guys saying its because they have 40lbs. They are just lazy thats it 40 year old Vitali looks better than 99% of prime heavyweights today...
They would preform better if the came in better shape. If that 25% body fat percentage is the only thing keeping them>200lbs then they don't belong in the hw divsion in the first place.
To be fair,there are still plenty of heavyweights in good shape. The Klitschkos, Adamek, Haye, Mormeck, Grant, Chambers, Sosnowski,Mansour,Mitchell, are all in great shape. Its just a few guys who bring the rest down.
