Umm... no.

Fat is just being kept AROUND the muscles due to excess calories being stored.
Muscles that aren't used too often are atrophied and lose their mass and strength over time.

Fighters eat a lot, even after they retire.

Sadly this

Roberto Duran did this while he was champ. He gorged and drank after his victory over Leonard to the point where he became a heavyweight.

nice mom science.

They have to eat a lot while training. They stop training, but still eat same amount of food and get fat. Simple

Added on to that is those injuries catch up to you. A lot of fighters are in less of a position to work out than guys who wait until they're middle aged to start working out.
