One small point that has been made elsewhere. Fighters in the old days trained down from their walking around weight. Now they seem to believe that the heavier you are the better you are. In those days gone by, they trained down to achieve maximum speed and mobility. How many times have you seen fighters come into the ring with a roll at their waistband? Others work out with weights (a no-no thirty or fourty years ago) and build up lumps of muscle like body builders so they can intimidate little old ladies when they walk down the street in their neighbourhoods.
