    "Prime" Holmes was actually in pretty good shape. I saw him in the Detroit Airport when he was the champ and he didn't look like anyone to mess with.

    There's many big guys who I wouldn't mess with. I wouldn't go looking to pick a fight with Tyson Fury or Joe Frazier. But they still have completely uninspiring physiques.

    Fighters from 160 to 175 all have great physiques. Can't remember anyone elite who doesn't look like ultra-athletic fighter from those divisions. The higher or lower you go, the better the chances you'll see someone with ****ty physique.

    I wouldn't pick a fight with anyone but I personally don't find Fury or Frazier intimidating. On the other hand, Holmes looked like they sewed a man's head on a gorilla's body. Holmes was solid and looked physically intimidating to me.

    Fury and Holmes have similar builds.

    Yes they do now but not when Holmes was in his prime. Look at some photos of a young Larry Holmes. Fury's build is nothing like Holmes.

    154 also has some excellent physiques as well. Lara and Julian Jackson had fantastic physiques.
