How do you know that mike tyson was natty? Vast majority of heavies in the 90s use steroids

 

Franco wasn’t even a pro!

 

If we're talking way before the steroid era, Johnson and Sharkey come to mind. And Carnera of course.

 

If I could have the physique of one fighter, it would be Ken Norton. Decent size without being bulky, great separation and symmetry, great balance, etc. Holyfield doesn't come close to the aesthetics of Norton, honestly.

 

Symmetry? Below the waist he was a ballerina!

 

Pats not a real troll by any measure and contributes plenty, he actually has sparred with pros you’ve heard of and trains guys. Try not to get so puffed up- it’s all just in good fun fella.

 

Googling some pics, you're right. Everything I said about his upper body stands, but he would definitely need to spend some serious gym time on his lower body to catch it up to his upper body. It's odd how his legs lack not just the size of his upper body but also the leanness.

 

Yeah, Foreman was naturally freakilishly strong, but the number of people throughout history that could outlift Bruno at his strongest without doing any actually weight lifting could well be zero.

Old George did lift weights however and might give Bruno a run for his money.

 

He quite literally looks like he has no lower body strength. It’s nothing to do with body composition IMO I think he has no muscle in his legs at all lol.

 

Old George was a strong guy and it wouldn’t totally shock me but I highly doubt it- Bruno was simply that much bigger, they look like a different species.

 

Hard to say exactly how big old George was in lean weight, but guys that weren't that much smaller than Bruno, and who were juicing, bounced off old Foreman like they were cruisers. Never seen a fighter project raw strength like he did.

 

That cannot be true though, given his athletic history. There's literally a track and field rule called the "Norton rule" because he was essentially a one-man track team in high school. There was a track event where the team entered him into 8 events and he won first place in 7. For whatever the legs may look like, he clearly had a lot of fast twitch muscle in them.
