    There are different body types, obviously. Some can get lean and ripped much easier, some retain more fat, some are hard gainers... but if you're training hard and eating healthy - as an athlete should be doing - you're bound to see good results. To say guys like Andy Ruiz Jr. are destined to be fat for life is bull. Something in their regimen, either nutritionally or physically, is lacking. For some, it may mean having to work harder to see similar results.

    I agree with you but someitmes it makes me think why can't Tyson Fury look more muscular? Paul McCloskey? Brandon Rios?

    Genetics and metabolism etc have a lot to do with it.

    As well as training goals. Unless a fighter is taking something that gives them the best of both worlds, the more muscular you get, the worse your stamina will become because more superficial muscle demands more energy. Many of the best conditioned boxers have "everyman" kind of builds because that's the physique more suited towards being a cardio monster. That's partly why distance runners look like they do and sprinters, who may only have 100 or 200 meters, have a more bodybuilder-like physique.

    A musclebound fighter that can fight at a high pace and never have stamina issues is a major red flag for PED's.

    Lol at these keyboard warriors who have never been to a gym in their life trying to conince themselves that they are fat because of their 'body type'

    Maybe if u go to the gym once in a while u will notice that the body changes when u change ur activity level, and eating habits

    And to ppl saying its genetics, its a white/black thing, an so on, then how do u explain Klitschko and Povetkin, both white Eastern European Slavs, yet one is chubby and soft looking, and the other looks like a sculpted Greek god?

    Tyson Fury
    Paul McCloskey
    Brandon Rios

    Are these guys just not training hard enough?

    They're likely not eating the way you need to in order to get ripped.

    If he had that he would be more popular and Pianeta and Mormeck would not last 1 minute against him, combined :good

    He had that, and like Tommy, he knocked out most guys, but it resulted in him getting knocked out by giving the other guys chances they wouldn't have had otherwise :lol:

    The guy has a horrible diet.
