    If David Haye goes on to beat that bum Klitschko and his sister Vitali then I guarantee you that the next breed of heavyweights will turn up in top shape.

    Yeah these people dont train hard enough fact. With proper cardio, weights, boxing circuit training, balanced diet and plenty of protien drinks come fight night they should look like athletes not like ****ing beer monsters...

    And dont forget Burger King. Gotta remember for most of the year our heavyweights spend all their free time in there or guzzling beer in some bar...so basically they are obese fat slobs...then they go into training camp for 8-12 weeks and lose a bit of it. But they still fat slobs. :D

    If heavyweights were to actually train like boxers in every other weight division, I think we would have a huge shortage of heavyweights because many boxers would fail to be over 200 lbs. For that matter, if the general population were to be in shape, the exact same thing would apply. I honestly think that the average man shouldn't be more than 170 lbs. Look at the height and weight charts from the 1940's and compare them to today. You would be lucky to find a man that weighed 150 back then, but today 200+ is the standard. I blame our food producers for enriching our food needlessly, and of course the use of steroids and other growth hormones. Couple that with a new sedentary lifestyle created by video games and giant screen TV's and we got us a recipe for the United Lard Ass States of America.

    BECAUSE THEY DONT ****ING TRAIN UNTIL THEY HAVE A FIGHT COMING UP

    I have seen plenty of pics of guys like Wlad and Golota playing other sports for pure fun while not in training.Some fighters understand that it is there JOB to stay in shape more or less year around so they take up lighter sports to stay in shape and stay loose.

    No weight limit in HW! a man with a normal weight +200 lbs have to eat a hell of lot more than a smaller guy do, to keep his weight balance! i do believe most heavies train just as hard, and have just as much muschels under all the "fat" as welterweights have! but to get a muscular looking body, you have get ripped.. and heavies dont need to do that, thats why some of them looks fat and lazy!

    I realy dont care as long as they win. Arreola gets alot of crap talked about him but his been destroying everyone in his path. I remember how Foreman had the same deal, yet became Champion.I remember same thing with Tua but he destroyed, and I never saw him out of steam. People have to remember some people could be in great shape and not look the part, but thats just how their bodies are. All that matters is that they kick ass.

    I still would rather watch 2 heavyweights fight than watch some middleweight defensive battle. There's nothing better than 2 big guys trying to knock each other out in my mind, so what if they are a little heavy. As long as George Foreman kept winning, nobody cared about his weight. Some of todays fat heavyweights are has-beens and already had their chances anyway, alas James Toney.

    What???????????? There naturally bigger men thats why there in the heavy weight division they dont need to carry excess weight thats bollocks, if they train right they will lose that weight.
