    If only fat Toney was ever a champion. He never actually won a belt above cruiser, and while he was big there, he wasn't grotesque like he is at heavyweight.

    He could definitely afford to drop down to SFW or lower.

    Ruben Olivares might count all my uncles tell me that they he would pull him drunk from bars after long binges and sometimes he was rumored to have fought drunk.

    Shannon Briggs. Shittiest stamina ever for a champion. He would be sucking wind after the second round.

    I'd say Toney, but as he was a drugs cheat, I'm not sure we should recognise him as ever being a champion.

    yes that was un-fortunate but he accomplished a lot before that which should be recognized. I mean most people recognize Mosley as a champ but he was probably a drug cheat, and more than likely Pryor was as well im not condoning it I just think they deserve respect for the fights they didn't cheat in and should be banned for a few years and heavily fined for the ones they did, also Toney didnt become totally out of shape till he was 37 or so with 60+ fights hell of a lot better than Arreolas doing.

    Ricky never fought out of shape. I think this thread is about out of shape in the ring on fight night. Ricky was never that.
