    If you have ever seen him outside the ring wearing street clothes you would probably never realize how ripped he is. He looks very normal with his shirt on, even a little bit skinny actually. I mean no doubt Wlad is HUGE but I was just saying.

    take a look at him in this video, he looks almost like any other joe on the street

    The man is 6'6" and a fighter so he's only 240 lbs which is relatively lean for a man of his size who can weigh anywhere from 270 - 300 lbs easy if they let themselves go.

    I remember Chef saying he gains weight for fights. He adds 15lbs of weight whilst dropping bodyfat at the same time, something like that.

    I remember Jim Lamps saying that same thing on HBO once. He said it about both Klit bros actually.

    the thing about the Klitschko brothers is that they are both very proportionate. They are not bulky at all, but if you were to meet them in person, they size of them would surprise you

    I remember Steward saying it about both Wladimir and Evander. He said he (Emanuel) and Evander wore the same sized pants around the waist. :conf :lol:

    If I were to venture a guess... I would say the reason he gains weight during training camp is due to PED. I would find it impossible for a boxer to go through the rigors of an 8 week training camp and gain muscle. Even more so for tall guys like the Klitschko brothers. Eastern European countries are infamous for PED. If the USA had it's Victor Conte... I am sure Europe has hundreds of like minded people.

    Certain clothes have a way of making people look like that. Especially when you have a build like Wlad's... which is broad shouldered, ripped, and thin.

    You can see that Wlad is very thin from the side view....

    So, if he has a shirt on, all you can see is that he is thin.

    They style shirt makes a huge difference. Klitschkos do not take roids. They use nutritions, Hell, they don't even drink booze.

    Its a sign that he is in very good shape.If he were bulging out of his shirt it would look like muscle and he would look more intimidating but it would actually mean he was carrying too much weight especially for a fighter.

    So what? He is a athlete not a bodybuilder.

    I met Vitaliy at press conference and he was in his suit. He looked like normal, tall and lean man. I would like to see more fighters in that kind of shape.
