    But surely in this absolutely dreadful heavyweight division, you think he is relatively decent?

    SRR's physique belied his ability, imo.

    Yeah, Quarry back in the late 60's to about '72 was compact but relatively lean compared to his build from then on out..and he was a better fighter before he filled out..he got a bit too husky for his own good and wasn't as fast and devious a counterpuncher.

    He's got a better physique than most contenders from the 80's. He's got the look of functional strength, not gym strength. At 225, and not flabby, he's a big dude by almost every era's standards.
