    I have just watched an old Bowe v Holyfield documentary and id forgotten how Evanders physique changed hugely in quite a short time while he was getting old etc etc ;-)??

    has there been another change in a boxer that even comes close to Holyfield

    Roy Jones took a lot more steroids when he moved up to heavyweight than he was at 175 too.

    Mikeeey Perez is my top choice for this one! Damn this dude was thrown way too fast in the tournament. I feel like he can be easily top10 in the cruiserweight. Check how he looks against Povetkin and then how he looked against Briedis.

    I forget the guys name. I think he was very famous in 2007, Mexican fighter. Fernando Vargas. Busted for taking the steroid Winstrol.

    He went from being very soft, to lean and muscular.

    switching it around a bit while thinking of a fighter you had marvin hager 60 fights where he weighed 160 for all of them.
    remarkable by todays standards.

    All those visits to the local buffet enhanced his waist size.

    Marquez randomly got acne/backne in his late 30's. What a strange occurrence.
