    Boxing's Ultimate Freaks of Nature

    Use this thread to discuss the greatest freaks of nature to step in the ring (not sideshows, but those who had success due to it).

    My votes go to Carlos Monzon (drank constantly, would have *** the night before fights, would smoke on the way to fights) without ever looking anything other than in peak condition, and James Toney (for obvious weight-related reasons).

    Hearns without a doubt

      Breland was pretty freaky too, 6'2 welterweight. Williams nowadays.

        ^^word on williams but he looks like a stick. Hearns actually looked a lil ripped..Marciano was also a freak not being a true heavyweight and knocking big heavys out

          Would Hatton deserve a mention?

          Between fights he eats loads and goes on all night benders and can weigh about 180pounds. And then he goes all the way back down to 140 again and looks good. That's crazy.

            I'm a bit hesitant to label lean, lanky fighters as freaks per se (I don't believe the body type is that extremely uncommon in the general population), but if we're going that direction then Arguello has to be mentioned. 5'10, 72'' reach featherweight.

                Duran used to ballon up sometimes to 200 pounds in between fights that were contested at 147 or 154 and it never affected his stamina too much.

                  Given his personality I'm somewhat surprised he didn't do this during his decade-long run at lightweight. Or perhaps he did to a degree, and it just isn't mentioned.

                    He did say it was getting a bit hard to make 135 when he moved up, so I think he was ballooning up then as well.
