    I agree. His back development was a little to good for stock nome PED training. and it's kinda the same thing going on with Evander. His traps are simply to good to ever get without doping.

    Literally, the definition has nothing to do with functionality, just form.

    Curious to hear more about your take on this.

    I'll do this by weightclass:

    HW: Wlad
    CW: Mormeck
    LHW: Dawson
    SMW: Roy
    MW: Hagler
    JMW: Bundrage
    WW: Leonard
    JWW: Zab

    All the weights below JWW imo, they're all fairly trim and it's really a toss up

    All y’all hung up on biceps and pecs.

    James J. Corbett let it all hang out in that thong. Never seen Evander or Tyson or those other guys shaking what their mama gave them.

    Corbett, on the other hand:

    He had dumps like a truck truck truck

    Thongs like what what what

    All night long

    He let you see that thong (th-thong th-thong thong thong)

    These modern era ‘body guys’ hiding their hineys tells you all you need to know. They’d quit like No Mas out of shame if James J. started twerking on them.

    Would not be so sure of dismissing their point. They are right in pointing out functionality could and should be a criteria (depending upon the point of your question). The dictionary definition of the word is the form, size, and development of a person's body. Best physique for a fighter is the one that allows them to successfully do the job. Certain body types would also be best suited to different boxing styles. They are athletes so the functionality of that physique is the point.

    It depends on the question you are asking. You obviously mean in terms of aesthetics and what you like to look at. But that's subjective is n't it? You could ask the question about other sports and the answer would depend upon whether you are asking about functionality or appearance. Best physique for a sumo wrestler? Best physique for a sprinter or marathon runner? I think it depends on how you mean the question.

    Harold Johnson. His nickname is Hercules because of his build.

    Thank you! Never thought about it in those terms before. But it makes perfect sense now what you are explaining

    Guys it looks like we have another troll sent from the depths of he'll to torment our fellow earthlings.
    Yes that's right I am hating on you for being a troll.

    Can we at least throw this troll into a running dryer and watch him go round and round? Would be very entertaining watching him cartwheel around like a rag doll. Definitely more fun than just throwing a cinderblock in there at full speed...
