I hope it's his thyroid condition cause it's looks like El feroz put on at least 60 lbs of pure fat since he fought mosley.

That sh*t is disgusting. I dont see how a fighter can bust their a** to get into shape and than just throw it all away and eat like a pig and do absolutly no exercise.
Any doctors/dieticians in the house? I've always wondered if the fact that boxers spend so much of their lives starving themselves and keeping themselves below their ideal weight, if the years and years of doing that makes their bodies just soak up the pounds once they retire or have some inactivity and start eating like a normal human being.

I feel like I read recently that Pernell Whitaker blew up to over 200 pounds a couple years ago when he was still doing drugs, and that just blew my mind because he weighed 135-147 during his career and was a really small-boned guy. I never thought a guy of his body type could weigh 200+ even if he tried.
