    Or Bob Baker or Cleveland Williams? He wouldn't have PEDs or weight lifting.

    I don’t know what he’s like without them now so I couldn’t say. I think he’d still be a big and strong guy . The question is what kind of backing and support would be available to him growing up in England during the 40s and 50’s? Who would be his trainer and manager ? A lot of Euro fighters back then had trouble getting the right foundation for their careers even though many of them had talent

    Absolutely not. Prob be in the 210-220 range. More focus on cardio. Def didn’t like them being to muscular (even now he’s to muscular and needs to shed some weight).
