    Some of them put on about 15-30lbs which is **** all really after all that training for years, they still have the dense muscle under that fat. Naz and Hatton have took the biscuit though.

    The reason why so many boxers balloon in weight is primarily caused by thrashing their hormones for years getting down to a particular weight. Any time an individual essentially starves themselves they will suffer a rebound via adaptive thermogenesis. Calorie restriction is one of the most destructive, nonsense concepts around and this is also what I posted in the fasting thread. Not a single animal in nature eats out with their natural diet (humans are the only animals that do) and none voluntarily restrict calories (those who do suffer from malnourishment). Boxers, like many, do both.

    He’s back in training and being fed by Greg Marriott the one who got Furys weight off, BJS always balloons up in between fights, he was 210 before the Lemieux fight

    So the image in the OP, fake or not, was recently accurate. BJS was very fat and is now in the process of returning to some semblance of an athlete.

    And? He was very fat a few months before his career best win, point is he’s nowhere near in the condition as these faceapp pictures that have done the rounds, and I can’t believe people fell for them

    It suggests he hasn't matured any and isn't too bothered about getting the most out of whatever's left of his prime. It's not unheard of for the penny to drop with a previously indisciplined fighter in the latter part of his career after a hard defeat. Seems not to be the case with Saunders.

    Point is he was quite near it as recently as five days ago, when the shot I posted was taken and shared. Has he lost that much already?

    Obviously he hasn’t matured it’s Billy joe Saunders we’re talking about here. I’m not sure what your point is, I don’t doubt that he’s well out of shape, just that the faceapp pictures where as stated, faceapp pictures. I know he’s in camp with Gregg Marriott who will shred the weight off him pretty quick, I suspect he’s only coming back for the eubank fight, which he would be a pretty solid favourite in. Was in terrible shape 8 weeks before he beat eubank last time and has ballooned up in weight all his career, like I said, nothing new here

    Two points.

    One, the threadstarter was pointing out that Billy Joe is fat as a hog, albeit citing an apparently fake image as evidence (knowingly or otherwise). You countered that Billy is now back in training and does not resemble that image. I pointed out that, whether Billy is back in training or not, he was fat enough to quite closely resemble that image as recently as five days ago.

    Two, we talk about boxers here. It's fairly typical to comment on whether a notoriously errant talent has appeared to wise up or not. Sometimes they do, other times not.

    It's you who seems to be making it deeper than it needs to be.

    Not really, just said the pic wasn’t real and he’s probably at his regular blow up weight, 12 week camp and he’d beat Eubank again which is all he’s coming back for

    He is NEVER fighting again. He was already one of the most inactive fighters in the world and that was before getting nearly blinded by Canelo.
