also, levrone never competed that much over 250.
had he come in at 260, then there'd be a difference.
most people close to 260 will have a gut or some distension.
cutler does not, however, he has an extremely wide waist, where as yates, nasser, etc. did not.
i think it more has to do with the weight on the bbers frame.
for instance, i bet flex used as much insulin as anyone, especially with his shitty training, but never really had a gut - at 5'10 and 230 lbs. at his best.
