Yeah it's a shame to see athletes completely give up on keeping in shape and being fit after they retire. But it might just be a momentary lapse, Lewis and Tyson allowed their weights to balloon up after they retired but look at them now, both still in good shape. I guess training as a job can become a chore after many years and once you no longer have to do it, the temptation is to bin it in completely and let yourself go. Guys like Hopkins, Pacquaio and Mayweather who loved to train and did so even if they didn't have fights scheduled are a rarity just like for most people in general.
sorry to say it to you fellas but nobody enjoys being fat n out of shape its a terrible thing fans glorify the boxers who get fat cos there fat to
Wouldn't say the fans glorify it, but when you spend your entire life denying yourself to maintain weight and fitness and then get punched in the head for a living then maybe the fighters deserve to have an extra bit of food and take a day off from the gym.
