What's interesting is that Tyson's weight didn't go to his face at all, while Duran's did. I'm conscious of that because I packed it on my neck and face, and eventually had it confirmed that I have very severe sleep apnea, the presence of which can be tipped off by weight distribution like that. Not sure of anybody being nearly killed by their weight, then successfully returning to competition like Douglas. What kind of shape is he in now? Alfredo Escalera porked himself up over 200 pounds to attempt a career in professional wrestling in 1980, but then decided to return to boxing. Dieting back down to a competitive weight nearly killed him, but he had a good comeback, beating Watkins, Lira, and Hatcher in their rematch.
I think this photo was taken for the recent "On the Ropes" interview: This content is protected Buster looks good considering he turned 51 this month.
I'd imagine he's pretty vigilant about his health after that 400 pound diabetic shock scare. What's the point of being wealthy if you can't live to enjoy it? Still, I was wondering because his highest competitive weight was for his final bout. I wonder if Holmes is pushing 300?
