    I was discussing my recent topic here online about Hosea Burtons with a friend.

    I told him he was never fit and never leaned up and my friend agreed but then I told him I don't think the gypsy boxers in Britain are ever properly lean as they should be and he told me thats unfair on them.

    Furies, both of them Billy Joe Saunders also Hosea Burtons, that little elf bloke who followed Fury around and got done in by Nick the Wrecking Ball... theres probably more but there never lean.

    Before the Fury masterclass of Klitschko in Germany there was a photo of him on daily mail for an infamous interview he was eating a sandwich white bread processed meats and cheeses

    The question is why is this and am I being unfair.

    Floors yours.

    Well if you take the most prominent 2, they’re steroid-taking scumbags who tell lies and call others every name under the sun.

    Scammers who tried to con their opponents, rivals and the public, and were fairly good at it. Had the gift of the gab to make ppl feel sorry for them for cheating too.

    it’s sad but they fulfilled the negative stereotypes, not you or us

    Why should they be leaner?
    It's not bodybuilding.

    because flab reduces performance thats why... also for those like Billy Joe Saunders they should be trying to make the most of the pounds they have got to play with a lean 160 is more optimal than a soft 160 is it not?

    Also fury has never been as fit as they have always claimed, he has been seen blowing a gasket loads of times in contests where barely any punches thrown

    Benavidez recently just physically destroyed Yarde.
    Natural strength is different type of strength than a gym body fighter.
    And anyway Tommy Fury is a gypsy and looks like he's carved from stone but can't box for ****.

    Sadly, there’s just a long history of lying, cheating and scamming combined with a real lack of self discipline.

    Muscles zap far too much oxygen from the body so for most boxers it should be trying to find a balance of strength and stamina

    Hosea Burton is 6 foot 4, and fought at light-heavy and cruiser. He didn't need to 'lean up' any more.

    I don't believe in boxers being fat, but heing "ripped to shreds" isn't the best idea for most of them either.

    Everyone skirts around the issue in boxing but they aren’t very civilised. They’re don’t bother me too much but I call them what they are through experience. There isn’t any wonder they have the physiques they do as they leave school at late primary school and they don’t get taught clean dietary habits at home. I once saw on the gypo wedding programme a baby that must have been 3 months being fed chips with curry sauce on from the chippy. Hardly going to lead to a 10-12% body fat body in adulthood.
