You don't need to be ripped to be fight fit.. Tyson Fury is the best example. He even calls himself a fatman

Derek Chisora has also competed with something of a belly but put on excellent fights. Obviously George Foreman too but he is exceptional. There's an assumption from the outside that if you don't have a clear sixpack you are just carrying unnecessary weight, but I remember Ross Enamait saying once a lot of the best action he'd seen was fighters sparring before they had to begin their cut. |

....

Yeah, I guess trainers worry their man will struggle against a guy who is the same weight but at 5% BF, but I think I recall a lot of the old time guys thinking people cut too much these days. |

I suppose so. If I was a fighter, I would want a trainer who wanted me to perform at my best skill level and endurance without regard for weight or much of anything else. But, I'm neither a pro-fighter nor a trainer, so WTF do I know?  |

Great videos, especially Butterbean. Just goes to show us, in the fight world, don’t judge a guy by his physique.
