He also did a four month 6 day a week training routine that included sparring sessions. I wish that some of our lard butt heavies like Jam-a-Meal McCline would find this kind of dedication, Gossett did it for a movie role.
Another one that needs to take that advice, even more than "Pig Time" is James Toney. I don't think he ever misses a buffet table.
