    must be a joke, he looks out of shape at welterweight! what is it with overweight fighters from the calzaghe camp.

    I've always thought his height and frame was too much for 154 so 160 would be a good move. 168, however, is nonsensical.

    Bollocks.... He failed to prepare correctly. Had the wrong strategy and traded when he was hurt with a known puncher. Enzo C agrees with the weight making problem????!! Bradley started at super feather. People grow and get bigger but he looks in questionable shape at light middle and lacks abdominal definition. I've had enough of the constant shite that comes out of that camp. Seriously why not just give Hall the credit he deserves.

    Can't argue with a lot of that mate, the preparations on this occasion were poor and people will need to be held accountable. He fought the wrong kind of fight and got punished.

    As for for him being in questionable shape at 154, now that is bollocks. He's nearly six feet tall and has a reasonably large bone structure, 160 would be a far more natural weight for him. He started his pro career at 18 so his body would still have been growing and filling out so I don't we can read too much into that. Lets see what weight Khan is at 27 and I gurantee you it will be nowhere near 135.

    Hall was the worthy winner on the night and deserves credit for a good performance but I think people are getting a little carried away. He can punch for sure but offers little else and has dodgy punch resistance. He's a decent domestic level fighter but nothing more.

    Pryce appears to carry a fair amount of weight at his midriff, personally I'd like to see him get in decent shape and if anything go to welter. Corrales was 6 ft too remember.

    some people just naturally carry chub around their mid drift, even if there in great shape and have great stamina. He may be one of those people that will never look trim no matter how hard they train.

    Neither will Pryce. He's got a little caried away with suggesting that. 160 would be a good weight for him. Ok, so he's 5'11 and a half, I'll stand corrected if it makes you happy.

    Anyone who sticks to a strict diet and does the amount of work a pro boxer does shouldn't have excess fat.

    he will be a natural heavywieght by 2011

    the whole calzaghe camp has had pretty bad preperations...and pretty public in that. we all knew enzo had no sparring, we all knew pryce was looking belly



    anyways this reminds me of adrian dodson who kept saying he was struggling with weight till he was a near cruiserweight.

    i agree that pryce is flabby in terms of a boxer physique, but i have to say that some cant get ripped. toney never looked great. always looked skinny and fat at the same time. even when he trained and dieted at 160 and 154.
    ibragimov is a noteriously hard trainer but looks like barny everytime he enters a ring.

    also calzaghes camp has never had the body beuty body shape. calzaghe never wieght drained and looked a bit flabby (great for a fitness fanatic but for a pro boxer he looked below average) same with macca who had some tits, rees........:roll:, cleverly looked similar.


    all have good stamina and handspeed but none are ripped...this is a trait of swansea gym.

    height doesnt mean a hell of a lot in terms of weight....hall looks bigger for the weight than pryce.

    Guilermo ones looked flabby at 174...at cruiser he looks rotund at the midsection. just becuase he is tall doesnt mean he should go up in wieght
