    I agree that Briggs frame is UNnatural. Steroid HGH unnatural. But I disagree that if he were to follow more conventional training methods that he would be slimmer or more proportional. Instead, he would be fat. Look at his face during long layoffs while he is not intensely working out. He looks like a jabba.

    I would say that if he were to train without weights he would look more like Arreola than a Klitschko.

    Some people have more natural physique than others even without lifting weights. But no one can get to look like Briggs looks now without weight training! He does not look like a natural fighter or athlete in any way.

    He looked much more like a boxer in his younger days!

    He looks like an athlete, just not a boxer. Golfers are athletes. Weightlifters are athletes. Hell, even badminton players are athletes.

    Long time since you posted here. And good points but remember Rahman and Briggs are natural heavyweights. When you a natural heavy as you get older its very easy to gain mass especially good quality mass as your muscles mature, depending of course on how you train.

    If he were to eat right, and train properly, you think he'd gain fat and end up like Arreola?

    NO.

    But, I don't think he would eat right, or train properly. Do you think Arreola trains? I do. Just not properly.

    Conventionly and properly are 2 different animals. Same goes for diet.

    Also, NO one can convince me he does not used steroids. He does. Whether he gets caught or not depends on how well Balco is able to trick the labs.:deal

    Take the thiamucase, testosterone, and dyanobol out of his diet, and he looks more and more like Arreola is all Im saying.

    No way in hell that's natural without lifting weights. Ever seen his older fights? I'd also be shocked if he didn't use PEDs at some point or another. If nothing else, I can just about guarantee you he's used HGH, since his head is way bigger than it was when he was younger.

    Here's Briggs from 20 years ago:

    And from 10 years ago:

    The only thing he lifts is the inhaler to his mouth.
