    What does Tank Davis walk around at? 220 pounds? Joking. But he does blow up like a fat balloon. I'm a fan though and **** he's quick when he does his sprints. Tszyu walks around at about 80kg which is like 176 pounds. He's a 176 pound Lion.

    Anyway back on Davis. Holy **** he's going to be one fat balloon which always rises once he retires. And I'm not knocking the guy I'm just talking straight facts. The training camps he puts himself through to make weight, man that's got to take a toll on the body. Knee's, joints, bones, all that ****. He'll be around 100 kgs once he's done which is a lot for his height. That's more the point I'm making though. The toll on the body. Floyd is obviously showing signs of regression in terms of physique which is obviously understandable given his age. His boxing is still top quality though. Floyd's a gun and still looks good for his age though. Can't stay a sculpted statue for ever.

    What boxers do you about in terms of their '' walking around '' weight?

    Hatton used to get up over 200 in between fights.

    Benavidez I believe was 300+ as a teenager, then slimmed down to about 200 and fights at 168. Thats why he's able to easily overpower all the little guys at 175 and below because the guy has a frame built for someone who can easily hold over 200 pounds. He said he might consider moving to heavyweight one day and yeah, I can see it happening.

    In a DJVlad interview I believe Holyfield mentioned Bert Cooper walked around at 240-250.

    Foreman as we know jumped up to over 300+ at one point before he returned to boxing in the 90's and slimmed down to 250-260.

    None though was an infamous as Tyson. Dude was 190 as a 12 year older and at some point, I want to say it was just before the Douglas fight, there were claims he ballooned somewhere around 260-280 due to poor lifestyle and all the stress from marriage. Thats just ridiculous.
