    I dont think he meant it that way. Remember the old sang boxing is 90% mental 10% physical.

    I'd say he is in fairly good condition:

    Unfortunately the antekprizering site is not working for me at the moment, but there are a couple of pictures of him in fighting condition. I'm not saying he was the Pacquiao of 1930's, but the picture you posted of him was slightly misleading, and it's not like he was looking out of shape there either.

    I'm impressed with Terrell's lack of body fat :

    And Ali's no slob either. And they're heavyweights.

    Rubin Carter was quite lean too :

    Oscar wasnt living the life towards the end of his career when he was balooning upto the 180s and I doubt he had a decent conditioning trainer anyway

    Looked in better shape earlier in his career though

    Fighters like Ali looked a little softer towards the end of their careers. Maybe these supplements and programs have allowed fighters like Holyfield and Hopkins to stay much leaner and meaner in their advanced age?

    Decent conditioning, he could achieve better conditioning today though

    It was taken in 2008. Pacquiao was portraying a "Lapu-Lapu" warrior or something.

    Pictures can tell two completely different stories when it comes to looking ripped...

    Overhead lighting, post workout, etc, can make the same guy look like two different people on the same day. I can say this just from looking at myself.

    I was only really taking the ****...but this could go on for a long time if you want and each time it does your ascertain that their were "hardly any" ripped old timers looks more and more off the mark.
