I just finished reading a book on Rocky Marciano, apparently his trainers were giving him a hard time about keeping his meals small and not over eating.

It seems in those days they thought it was important for a heavyweight to be lean.

Nowadays you have crazy stuff like Andy Ruiz beating Joshua, it’s hard to get your head around when you see them side by side but I guess they say don’t judge a book by its cover.
Marciano got caught in several different training camps sneaking downstairs into the kitchen to get a snack at 1:00 a.m. and another time he got caught with bananas under his pillow
