That isnt that bad for a guy his size. Its only 25lb or so over his last fighting weight, maybe 35 over is best weight.
Last I saw of him commentating on HBO he looked as big as a bear. But as has been said, at 6 foot 5, 280 is not that much over his fighting weight of 250 or so.
where did you get that info??? he always looks in real good shape to me and i know he has been working out every since he retired.. he weighed 256lbs against vitali, so even if he was just a little out of shape, he would be around 265-275... he is 6'5 with a thick frame so 25 lbs to him is like 10 lbs for most fighters
That is only 24 pounds, no big deal as far as I am concerned. Doesn't surprise me at all that he is 280.
