    Seems he wasn't training seriously back then

    He looked a total unit against Zhang. Clearly puts the gym hours in now.

    He's quite clearly carrying 30 pounds of fat (and that's not to get ripped). He's nowhere near lean.

    He looked pretty buff to me. You must like your men much leaner.

    You've obviously never lived an active life because any halfwit gym goer could tell you that he's carrying an easy 30 plus pounds of fat from being remotely lean, sitting comfortably above 20% bodyfat.

    Didn't think he looked in great nick, but then it's not a bodybuilding contest and it didn't matter...

    Right? Dude is a few pounds away from having gyno tits. He is clearly carrying excess weight.

    All the natural big men have come out at heavyweight. Out of camp they are all 300 pound titans excluding Parker.

    Meanwhile that bodybuilding bum AJ needs hard roids to hit 250 and shrinks down to a pathetic 200 pounds out of camp. No fat on him because he's a beta. All these upcomers have done it the hard real way and will earn their belts properly once Fury and Usyk retire

    I was analysing his tits very closely because at first glance it did look like he had gynecomastia to my eye!

    I'm in the gym pretty most days and out hiking in the hills when I'm not. Jog on troll.

    Even at 241 he looks a bit doughy. The excess weight doesn't seem to affect him, he has a pretty good work rate. I'd have to see him go 12 hard rounds to see if the weight slows him down.

    Ripped? He's built like Manuel Charr. Solid, but clearly carry a lot of excess flab.

    Which makes his physical strength surprising. If he didn't have all that flab he would probably be around Usyk's weight.

    Not necessarily. Strongmen aren't generally that ripped but are some of the strongest humans on the planet. Kabayel is fleshy but not in that flabby way that Arreola or Fury are. You can see he's a solid unit, especially in the chest/shoulders area.

    True, but strongmen have an insane amount of muscle mass under that fat. Kabayel looks over 25% bodyfat at 240 lbs, so his lean mass is pretty low compared to other heavyweights, but he's still strong as hell.

    More importantly though, he has the gas tank to go along with it.
