    All he did in prison like everyone else who stayed active was lift. Unfortunately for him he didn't get any run work in and he ended up too bulky for his own good.

    Except in the States that have taken the weights away. California did this over 15 years ago for State prisons not sure about federal.

    James Tony. He went from a lean middleweight to blubber.

    Probably matters a lot to inmates in California state pens who want to lift weights but cannot.

    Yup.

    Tyson Fury after the Wlad fight. How did he become so big, so fast?

    That's right suspicious, that is.

    C'mon, bro. I see no reason why a grown man who looked as malnourished as this vs Clinton Woods couldn't pack on 20 pounds of solid muscle in 6 months to fight Ruiz.

    For a Heavyweight, Holyfields weight through his heavyweight days are as steady as they come.

    Holyfield turned Heavyweight when he was 26 years old.
    First 5 years as a Heavyweight his weight ranged from 207 to 212 lbs, which means he was always within 5 lbs from fight to fight.

    Holyfield weighed 205 lbs in his first fight with Riddick Bowe, his mindset to be quick and fast on the trigger.
    Well Holyfield was quick and was fast, only Bowe's reach was keeping him at Bay, and when Holyfield took the fight to the inside, Bowe was leaning on him and bullying him.
    put on weight to fight Bowe in a rematch a year later.
    Holyfield took a fight inbetween against Alex Stewart and weighed 212. Holyfield had weight 212 against the same Stewart prior to losing to Bowe.
    Then Holyfield tacked on 5 additional pounds for the Bowe rematch and weighed in at 217.
    5 lbs for a Heavyweight is not a lot.

    If you were to tell me Holyfield weighed in for a fight at 210 looking lean and inshape, and months later in his next fight he's a at 225 lbs looking just as fit, then I would tell you that's a physique to be suspicious about, but 5 lbs? Absolutely not!

    After that Bowe rematch, Holyfield's weight usually fell between 215-220. I think Holyfield was pretty consistent as far as his weight was concerned, never was there a drastic gain of weight from fight to fight.

    .......hope that helps!!!
