Right, I am more your Hearns, Paul Williams type. I do not carry a lot of bulk. I have built up with muscle, but have one of those long frames.

The UK average weight is 84 kilos and the average height is about 177cm. Now that is pretty unhealthy IMO as it means pretty much overweight.

I look at Calzaghe today and he is much heavier, but clearly not as healthy as when he was a fighter needing to be in shape. You see it in Hatton too. In retirement they have 'normalized' and it isn't particularly good and kind of reflects society at large.

Some people are in great shape, but many are not.
