Are you for real? He would have always massacred Tyson!

200lbs would have been his non training weight, when he moved up to heavy he was solid, it has to be steroids, to do that naturally would take a couple of years if its possible, ask any bodybuilder or aspiring bodybuilder and they will tell you how hard they find it to put on muscle, yet Holyfield, Jones,Toney and Mosely all go up in weight and have vastly more muscled bodys.

Although Toney was carrying fat, look at his traps, theyre huge, same as Holyfield.

Im now wondering about Hayes physique, hes put some lean mass on, although he was heavier for Bonin than Barrett, is it possible to gain then lose then gain again

He doesnt look that cut though so could well be just fluids?
It isn't hard for some people to put on muscle, people with good genes can easily pack on muscle. I was pretty slim when i was 16, but i've put on a good 20+ pounds of muscle when i started working out seriously. At about 17 and a half or somewhere round there im now 19.
When I was 19 I weighed 180lbs and now I'm 24 225lbs and I can assure you I've never touched any steroids. weight training made me put on almost 25 pounds in the first year alone. Muscle is a lot easier to put on than cut believe me.
