    Most likely nearly all of them will be in the heavyweight division. Who are the fattest/most flabby boxers you've seen?

    I was pretty shocked to see Javier Mora (when Ibragimov knocked him out in 46 seconds)

    After the cruiserweight division there a very few Lean boxers (sub 10-12% Bodyfat) Humans just generally arnt that heavy at lean weights.

    Yeah - the Baby Bull looks flabby - but we all know he's a beast.

    James Toney was probably one of the worst that I've seen.

    Oscar when he fought Felix Sturm.

    The King of the 4 Rounds - ButterBean - but I never considered that real boxing. That's just pure entertainment.

    Fernado Vargas against Mayorga!

    Jimmy Abbott.............. This guy looked like your local corned beef inspector.
    Tim Tomasheck................ Just an enthusiastic fat kid.. he fought for the world heavyweight title on 3 hours notice.....

    Chuck Gardner...... Did you ever see this clown on national TV fight a prime Frank Bruno.. in france........

    Eddie Gonzalez , he could box pretty well but took a whacking from Tony Tubbs and Herbie Hide late in his career, he was kind of a tex mex heavy.

    Lionel Butler....... When in shape was awesome, out of shape and on crack, he was gross........

    Remember Kenny Gould, why any man outside of heavyweights should carry rolling fat is beyond me..

    James Broad god bless him, a very close friend, my god he had talent but couldn't resist twinkies.. I remember sitting with him at the fights in 93 (Page v Mike Faulkner) and he was just devouring saltwater taffy by the handful..

    Samson Pouha, could box but had a penchent for Junk food and very bad choice of trunks, he boxed on a show in Utah once and he had the most hideous bermuda shorts on.. i am convinced he did it for a bet..

    Brian Neilsen, tough as hell, but just genetically challenged.

    enough for now... I am feeling kinda queezy...

    yes Kirk could look terrible at times.. He used to be cut to the bone back in 95 or 96 but he suddenly started looking bloated... what a waste , he really had talent..

    foreman was flabby, but under all that was enormous slabs of muscle, he had awesome power.. he could have ran through walls , he was the immovable object......

    Here he is (not wearing the shorts) fighting Andrew Golota (this must have been 94-95).
