    I'm talking of course about weight.

    Obviously Sugar Ray Leonard is up there.

    Who else would you say has kept themselves in great condition since retiring?

    He looks fighting fit...give him 4 weeks and he could fight again.

    SRL is the best example, people who know him say the reason he's stayed in such great shape is because he's such an ego maniac.

    Tszyu is another good example and still works out regularily.

    Agreed.

    You can just tell that he still train's as if he has a fight coming up.

    Hopkins had a brief retirement after the Tarver win and I'm sure he'll be fit as usual once he retires for good.

    Hagler actually joked about how he is still around 160 in case Leonard would decide to fight him again. I think he is serious.

    Hopkins almost had a year off at some point and starting training camp he was 167 i believe.
