Ah the old fake gut and boobs trick. That wire underneath is not what's making him look like a tub of lard, the fact he a tub of lard is doing that.
I don't like the man particularly but it isn't catastrophic if he has put a bit of weight on, it will come off again.
You don't need to be roiding to be in shape. Go to any gym and you'll see tons of guys who are in excellent shape and they're not even being paid to keep themselves fit. There is no excuse for a professional athlete to be fat.
I actually agree with you... BUT those guys in the regular gym doing there purely aesthetic exercises (which I have been guilty of) mostly can't truly perform endurance activities or do anything requiring real coordination - these pro fighters take horrific beatings in their functional trainings, face injuries from other professional fighters taking it out of them, and age more quickly than the guy who puts in five days a week at the gym for an hour an a half to look good. They also suffer neurological damage that, whether it is visible or not, probably begins to affect them by the time they make it on the world stage. Fighters need breaks, and guys like Hopkins have a style and a mental level of focus that either doesn't get them injured a lot and puts minimal tear on them or just have the hardness to not need that break. Just saying. I know pro Football players face the same injuries and concussions, but they aren't guaranteed to get injured in every game.
What? I will bet almost anyone at the gym I used to go to would beat the brakes off Fury in any sort of fitness/endurance test. If you look like that you are a slob pure and simple, and have no business being a professional sportsman. Just shows you how pathetically weak heavyweight boxing is.
I dislike him, and want to see him get KTFO, however its kind of sad to see him like that as i know he suffers from depression, and like the above guy said he needs to stay active and happy to stay on track with his fighting. David Haye is responsible for this. Probably sent him on a downward spiral. Cant believe i feel sorry for a guy i dislike. I am deffo making it into heaven
